I grew up in Sayler Park and know Pat well. As a matter of fact Pat knew my father real well. Last time I talked to Pat was the St. Al's on the Ohio festival this summer. Great racer!

Van May, one of the bravest I've ever seen race.

A.J. Foyt, on of the best this country ever produced.

Grandpa turned the Evans Bottle Shop #3 over to Dad in August of 1982. It was the #79 after that.

crp26, that is right. When Dick Gaines got hurt in Karl's car early in 1974, Grandpa took over for him and won -- I forget the exact numbers -- something like 13 of 14 races until Gaines came back just in time to beat Opperman to the line at Knoxville.
