This was forwarded to me by State Fair Speedway in an email they received. Email is below the pictures. Can you help?
 
"Hi, I don't know if you're going to know anything about this or even
be interested. But I found a piece of okc racing history out here
that I'm sure somebody somewhere is going to want. I'm from
Oklahoma, but now live in Los Angeles and recently went shopping in a thrift store and found this. I'm curious if you or anyone you know might know Larry Wilson or
someone in his family because I know if this was me, or my dad, or my
grandfather I'd want this jacket.
Thoughts?
Thanks and Best,
Tanner Thomason

That is amazing after all these years it shows up in a thrift store in LA! It looks in pretty good shape too.

David, was there an email address for the sender of that original msg? If so, contact me offline and I'll get ahold of him.

Been msg'ing back and forth with Mr Thomason in LA. The jacket is in a "high-end" store, priced at $450!!!!! Dayum! What's scary is some damfool Californian will probably buy it. Be sure to check out the rock groups that come through the Zoo amphitheatre in the future....."Larry Wilson" may well show up playing lead guitar some chilly night. Inflation, collectability and whatever else you want to consider is all well and good, but that's bloody ridiculous! Any of you former champions who are looking to finance some new tires for next season might want to ship your underwear to California, complete with genuine SFS skidmarks...could be worth a fortune.
