Ray Cunningham presents David "Davey The Flying Farmer" Ross with his plaque for being inducted into the 2010 Class of the BCRA Hall of Fame.

Side note: Has a kid growing up in the Hutchinson, KS area Ray Cunningham was a walking encyclopedia. When it came to the racer and the cars, just ask Ray. Remember there was NO internet. He is a perfect fit to be associated with the BCRA Hall of Fame. I'm sure his dad Vernon is smiling down looking on with a proud smile.

A legendary driver, car and owner back in 1966 at a BCRA Hutchinson race. Davey Ross poises with the Ernie DeCroce #67. I would assume that is Ernie at the front of the car?

This car was a CAE powered by a 406 CI Ford, Davey told me it was a handful to drive.

Warren Hamilton at the Hutchinson BCRA 1966 race.

A toter-home in 1966 in the background amongst all the station wagons and pickups. Interesting shots of other legendary sprint cars also.

So much for green race cars being taboo

This might be an above average trailer for 1966. The tire rack and places to store fuel cans etc. I believe that is a Chrysler product as the tow vehicle.
