Yes my father is Jim Kelso radio announcer and dirt track announcer. I do remember Jackie Rogers and Richard McKinney. My dad ran the projectors at the drive-in on Bragg Boulevard. I would like to hear from each of you again. My childhood grew from the experiences at the dirt tracks and knowing the drivers and their families. Sam Ard passed a year to two ago from Alzheimers and I am not sure where any other drivers live today. I did see Richard Brickhouse 10 years ago and he still lives in NC. Please reach out again and lets chat more.
Is your dad the Jim Kelso who was a radio announcer?
My brother Richard McKinney knew that Jim Kelso very well. They attended a lot of races together. Jim Kelso was a great Fred Lorenzon fan and my brother was a Buck and Buddy Baker fan.
I attended a race at Champion Speedway in the late 50s or early 60s and remember Dink Widenhouse winning in a #B-29 car.
Hope this helps you with your inquiry.
