Johnny R. Hair Jr.
Clifton Spud Long
This is from the 1970's at the Cape Fear Speedway in Leland, NC. This the Chevy Nova driven by Spud Long for Horace West I was just a kid around 10 and I was his fan. He drove against drivers: Donald Hill, Tom Usry, Roger Canady and Ricky Sullivan and from Fayetteville, Chubby Thompkins. My father also raced Johnny Hair known as Groundthumper
The photo looks like the one that accompanied a nice August 1976 story on school principal, Spud Long in the Wilmington Star-News : http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1454&dat=19760822&id=_bQsAAAAIBAJ&sjid=GRMEAAAAIBAJ&pg=4373,4446309
