Not too sure? That was about the time he was around so it could be. I helped a USAC team that Tim drove for. Right off hand I thought it wasn't him in the picture, not the way I remember him looking.

Here are a few photos of my dad, Ray Richards out of Terre Haute, In.
- The #18 midget is at Jungle Park Early 50s.
- The Black Offy midget is from the mid or late 50s.
- The #57 Sprint Car, late 70s at Haubstadt.
- The Black and Yellow #X Sprint Car is early 80s at Haubstadt ( I think?).

Enjoy

I think I recognize and remember every sprint car on this page! Can't decide whether that's good or that just means I'm old :2:

Those are cool photos! You wouldn't happen to still own that offy midget would you?

Ovalmeister - Thanks. No, I wish I had that car that would be cool. It was a Curtis copy with parallel rear torsion bars. I believe thats a Peck nose on it. I not a 100% sure what happened to it. I think it was stolen around 1959 or 1960 and as far as I know never seen again. Haha, I still have the 1/2-midget though.
