Thanks, some great quotes there and yes, I guess I'm a old timer. Be 60 on Groundhogs day and I can't remember NOT being at the track. You wouldn't find any rich kids parents buying them rides or a sprint car or Midget for Christmas in those days in less they wanted to get rid of him LOL
“Three guys got killed in that last one, I think,” said Biddison. “And you were leading when they stopped it.”
People forget — or in the case of the younger generation, never knew — how much more dangerous auto racing was in those days.
“We were right out in the open and at first, we didn’t even have a roll bar,” said Blundy.
“When roll bars came in, nobody wanted to use them because it was sissy stuff,” said Biddison.

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true.

Thanks BarryC for the reading. I've read & heard a lot about Blundy, never knew he lived in the Galesburg area though. These old timers are slowly becoming extinct
and with what they had for equipment are true gladiators of the sport.
