I was just informed of a 92 old year fellow that still works on his old school sprint car that he raced at Thompson Speedway on opening day in 1940. Here are two links. I hope you enjoy both the story and photos.

That's alright Dwight. I love racing history almost as much as you do. When I find something that I think would be of interest to racing fans in our area I try to post it. Just as you and others do. Keeps the youngsters, myself at 58 informed, LOL.
