I met someone last year at the 360 National in October at Chico and they said there name but with cars on track I didn't hear it.They said they drove the car till the late 90's or late 80's lots of noise.
Thats why I wanted a list, it may click my memory.
Thanks Otto
P.S. I think it was #78.

The name was like Jerry or Gary Giving or Givins. It sounded a lot like Gary Giving he said he was 56 years old I think. He said he quit racing when I stated going to Gold Cup that was like 1987.

His name might have been Jackie Whitson, kinda of a scruffy older blonde hair guy? If not there is a long list. What did he look like?
The older I get, the faster I used to be.

His name was Gary that I know. Did get the last name real well. But as He said it I though are related to Alissa. But the races were going so I didn't ask.
He was very clean cut, Blond going Gray, Has a Hearing Aid in his left ear. Had a 13 year old Girl with him, He said she likes to work at the track.
Also said he helped John P push a road into the pits so the large Hallers could get in.
