Description: "Herk" was a great driver and very popular with the fans. Known mostly for Indy car racing, Jim was comfortable in stock cars and modifieds and was very competitive in everything he drove. His big win in NASCAR came at the Atlanta 500 in 1966.
Description: Ernie Gahan was the 1966 NASCAR Modified Champion. I remember Ernie,Bill Wimble, and Red Farmer from when they stayed at our motel in Daytona way back in the Beach-Road days.
Description: Bill Stroppe of Long Beach California built a fleet of Mercury race cars in the 1950's and 1960's. From the days of the Beach-Road course to the high banks of Daytona, the red, white and blue Stroppe cars were always competitive.
Description: Johnny Allen is a great race driver from the 50's and 60's era that has been over looked. Not just a good driver, but a good person. I'm very proud to call him a friend.
