You have Gordon Wooley from Waco - what a great driver. He raced so many organizations and tracks and was well liked at each and every one (as far as I ever heard).
As far as I could tell - you didn't include:
Benny "Benito" Greenlee. Born Oct. 13, 1939 and died Jan. 14, 2017. He started out in hobby stocks at the Old Devil's Bowl in Dallas, Texas but was best known for the little green car #74 that was really a sprint car but looked more like a modified - owned by Carl Gentry. He was well known at the Knoxville Nationals in the early '70's (later in a traditional upright sprint #11). He also got midget rides in Minnesota, I think it was. I think his favorite track was Jackson, Miss. - a high speed, high banked paved track. He also did well in Houston at Meyers Speedway - a 1/2 mile paved track.
Benny "Yahoo" Taylor from Tulsa, Okla. He and 2 others died the same weekend shortly following Benny's death. Camfield was one.
Bill Jones just died - I'll send you more information later. What a great mechanic but mainly a brilliant fabricator and builder and restorer. He was 93 (I think) when he died and was in San Antonio, TX. at the time.
It's been a bad year, so far, for oval racing guys.
