Blesch drove a red #66J I believe. I think he was from Holland, Ind.

I think there was also a guy that ran down there weekly for a couple years by the name of Paul Gratzer from Bedford, Ind. Maybe drove a yellow #92 if memory serves me correct.

Bland was always a blast to watch. Man do I miss those days. Kevin Briscoe was always one of my fan favorites as well and how about the pride of Freeman Spur, Illinois, Chuck Amati.

Here's some of the late model regulars I can remember. Terry Woehler (#2), Rick Carneal (#21), Steve Karnes (#11) Kevin Claycomb (#28) Doug McCammon (#92), Ivan Jerome (#88), Ron Fisher (#1x), Mike Munson (#30), Carnell Parker (#75).

I believe it was Larry Trunnel from over around Owensboro that drove the Hooters car, I still got some handouts from him from back in the day

Trunnel had a scrap bussiness in Maceo just outside of Owensboro. He now lives in Tell City and always has a smile on his face and calls everyone he meets "friend".

I always enjoyed watching Carneal(my uncle),Claycomb, and Helfrick battle every Sunday. Tom Tepe was my favorite sprint car guy to watch. I started going there in 1975 (when I was 6 months old) and kept going until we moved to indy in 1987. We still make it down atleast once a year. Haubstat and Kamp I believe are the best tracks in indiana
