I am a newbie here--hope this post is in the correct place.
I also am a devoted fan of Elvis! I recently learned that he once took a ride in a race car with Stick Elliot and that there might be photographs of this incident!
Does anyone know more about this?
Thanks for any help.
Mark,

Mark,
I didn't notice if you had joined the Stick Elliot fan club. Would also be a good idea to post there. Those members will get a direct notification of your question. Here is the link.

There is a comment on there about Elvis: Here is a piece of it...
(Stick) Was a stunt driver during the filming of the Elvis Pressley movie ' Speedway',
Stick took The King around CMS for 2 laps, then Elvis wanted to go faster,
and Stick just happened to spin the big Pontiac Bonneville down through the grass
much to the delight of the photographers, then drove over to pit road where
Elvis removed himself from the car to go and change his pants.
( The photos of this 'incident' are in the NDLMHOF )
There is supposed to be a picture of Elvis and Stick on the National Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame website. Good luck finding it...they do not have a search feature. Would love to help them with their website if anybody has a connection.
