I know my grandpa, Ron Fisher, did. My dad tells a story about grandpa following someone for too long at Bloomington. He says grandpa came into the pits, and Dizz puts his foot up on the old two-tube front bumper and says, "Boy, don't you know what this iron up here is for?" That's the story I remember.
SUPERDUKE, I've got an old Dick Wallen tape of you busting your ass out of turn two at New Bremen. Was that as hard of a hit as it looked? |

I've got pictures of the Lyle Roberts roadster after Duke Cook busted it up on the front stretch at New Bremen while qualifying in 1974.
I believe you can add Johnny Rutherford to the list of Dizz Wilson drivers. If I've go the story right, Rutherford flipped and Dizz fired him before the car came to a stop. Believe another was Gene Aldridge, from Gibson County, Ind., probably before World War II. When I worked at the Princeton newspaper in the early 1980s, a race car sat in the front yard being used as a flower planter. Supposedly, it had been owned by Dizz Wilson at one time and was purchased by Aldridge for the motor and possibly the powertrain. The last time I saw the car it was in the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame Museum as a display on what type of condition in which some museum pieces are originally found. Jim Morrison |
