We have the obvious, Stone, Shuman, Frazier, Armstrong, and Breazeal. With a mention of Kramer Williamson and Jan Opperman. Who was the modified driver from OKC #12??

Ken Hailey from Norman
Also, George "Ziggy" Snider filled in for the "Flyin Shoe" for a couple of races in USAC competition back in 1984.

I know he didn't drive in the modifieds but you guys remember Dave Bradley driving the Ofixco Racing #78G and #56 Flat Track motor cycle? he won a lot of races around here and traveled with the AMA pro series in the early 80's....

It was Jerry Hailey from Norman. Ken Hailey was his father and he drove #54 a generation earlier.
The story as I recall was that Tulsa had outlawed V-6s, so the V-6 OFIXCO car sat idle. Jerry and company were at OFIXCO's shop (maybe to buy something?) and Jerry's wife told them that they should let Jerry drive the car. And they did.
Anybody know any different?

Dont forget Sammy Swindell, Aaron Lemmons (full sponsor Ofixco car) Ray Crawford drove in an NCRA race in Kansas and Terry Doss & Barry Grabel qualified Armstrong's and Stone's cars for a USAC show in OKC when both Tony and Jerry went back to Tulsa to race on a saturday night.
