Linda, do you have any more info on other tracks where he may have competed?

I have been told he raced in Texas, Oklahoma, and California so far. Will post more as my research continues. I believe one of the Hot Rod magazines used to post race winners in their issues and I would guess it would be between 1962'ish to 1967, but can't afford to purchase so many back issues that I might be able to find.

I have some brief information on him in an entry on my Drag Racer Deaths website. I'd like to add the name of the cemetery where he is buried and a photo of him if you have one. I also like to include photos of his car and grave, too. The URL to my website is: dragstripdeaths.webs.com/Any help appreciated,Mel
