J.C. - I noticed in your group of photos a shot of George Shumperts wheelstander. We had him at ODS in Manassas, VA twice. Was really spectactular, he hit 4 cars the first appearance in 1966 coming back down the track towards the starting line. On the second appearance, new truck, broke a shock, upside down on the guardrail. He was a hell of a stuntman. I'm guessing the photo is of a reproduction of one of the originals. Ran into a nephew of his at the stock car races in Golden Isles, GA years ago. Is he still alive, what's your connection. Small world, obscure guy and trucks. You never hear about his exploits from "back in the day".
