Georgia Tech's Racing Roots, connected to Raymond Parks, Red Byron, Red Vogt
Stock Car Racing History
Hi, everyone. I'm Doug and I work for Georgia Tech in Atlanta. We just published my story on Georgia Tech’s Racing Roots , which I thought y'all might be interested in. It highlights early speed culture in and around Atlanta, and shows the deep connections between Georgia Tech and racing pioneers Raymond Parks, Red Vogt, Lloyd Seay, Roy Hall, and Red Byron. I wrote the story with blessing and participation by Violet Parks, Raymond's widow who established a scholarship endowment in his memory.
