Curtis Turner & Lee Petty didnt get along too well. Turner made a fortune in the lumber industry & raced for the fun of it. Lee Petty raced to put food on the table.At a race in Virginia one time Turner had been rough on his & Pettys equipment. After the race Petty went up to confront Turner.Turner was sitting on a fence having an after the race cocktail. Petty approached Turner with a rolled up newspaper. He questioned Turners rough driving. Turner made a grave mistake by trying to laugh it off. Petty whacked him with the newspaper. The newspaper had a torque-wrench rolled inside of it & Petty made his point.Now thats getting the point across across without loosing your torgue.

It took both Lee and his wife to Tiny Lund at Greensboro. They felt he had mishandled their car.

Elizabeth Petty, I understand, whacked Tiny with her purse.

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.

The stories that I have heard talk about what Mrs. Petty carried in her purse, like bricks.
