Marv, you are right peddie was in our car. He didn't last that long as granny gave him the axe a few weeks later. I've got a stack of small notebooks with the same info your giving. Some people never throw anything away if you know what i mean. It may take a couple of days but i'll find them....

I was perhaps even more pleased to recall that a young charger named John Mugavin in #57 won the Stock Car Feature on that night followed by Ross Smith, Pat Patrick, Bob Creviston, and Jerry Lipps. John had run 2nd in his heat and won the Fast Car Dash. I've heard there is a 2nd generation Mugavin still racing. :confused: Anyone have any info on that??? :wink:O::wink[/QUOTE]

Thanks for the flashback Marv. I would love to see more of these. As far as a second generation still racing we will see. After 20 years we have decided its not financially responsible to continue on. After all Dad may want to retire in 30 or 40 years.:O: With the housing market dead I have went to work for a more secure company that requires I work some weekends. After all I may want to also retire someday.:O: I am not saying we are done racing completely as I am working on a few things and I will always be involved in racing to some extent. We will see I may concentrate on getting the 3rd generation started with a Kart. Anything is possible but I will definetly find my buddies under the 'A' next season.


As far as the Late Model guys driving Sprints I think most guys that did halfway decent in stock cars were given a chance in Spints if they wanted it. Most people don't realize it but Dad's last race competively was in a winged Sprinter at the Burg in 92 or 93. I will never forget that the motor blew and started a pretty nice fire and Dad brought it to a stop in 3 and 4. I was a little concerned because Dads equipment was pretty old and he never wore gloves or much fire protection. I got to the car and Dad was calmly getting out and his first words were "I think we need to tighten your car up a little. Its starting to slick over"

dale black who was bobby blacks brother was a painter he lettered cars motorcycle tanks what ever..i think as bob mentioned he also did the some of the names on the 500 pit wall for race day

Thanks for setting me straight on this one.

I missed the train of thought somewhere along the line.

I didn't realize that Bob had a brother who painted.

I'm not sure if this is the answer to your question... My computer's wallpaper is a photo of Bob Kinser qualifying at the 1968 Knoxville Nationals. It's the 53 car that looks to be sponsored by Dave McIntire. As far as I remember, that was a Chevy dealership on 38th St. in Indy.

Here's a link to where you can find that photo:

9 owned by Leo McCoskey... 46 Verne Kunkel ...97 Bill Starr ( Edwin the mag mans dad ) ... The black and white 14 was Pete and Jerry Brewers ( It didn`t have that unique shade of very light red until 73 or 74 ). Dad had some speculations about some of the others but I thought I would go with the ones he seemed at least 75% sure of...

Ira Bastin, oh my, still see him from time to time at Rosie's Diner when the stove is broke:wink He and his brother Isra were quite the duo in their day.Not to be messed with unless you had a desire for some pain:eek:

Seems that I remember that Jon Peddie, who was from Madison, IN, later piloted the unlimited hydroplane Miss Madison. If so, that would have been back when it seemed they were losing a driver at almost every event. This was before the move of the engines and before the closed cockpits. Any recollections on that Chris? Anyone??? I still have an excellent memory.......it just doesn't last nearly as long as it did when I was younger.
