After racing in daytona beach Louise ventured north to Hillsboro NC to race and what a race it was. Once her car went airborne off the track at Occoneechee Speedway in Hillsborough, N.C, destroying the car. But after track workers dragged the crumpled heap out of the woods, she climbed inside the door, helmet and goggles on her head, a big smile on her face, and posed for pictures.That big smile was typical of Smith.
"She couldn't afford the best of equipment, but she enjoyed it," Mundy said
Johnny, I have never seen that photograph before so thanks for sharing.
We actually have video footage of the wrecker pulling Loise Smith's car out of the woods and the car sitting in the infield afterwards.LAVERNE ZACHARYHISTORIC SPEEDWAY GROUP
