Todd, Gary Ragsdale still has the chevelle. He shows up at the Suds on Saturday nights once in awhile. Tom

Re: Any you guys remember Roger England of Columbus, IN
 

I actually ran into Gary last summer, he said he still had it. I had a shot at it before he got it, it belonged to the son of one of my dad's drivers that did a lot of trans work He did the T350 in my 67 Camaro... danged if I can remeber his name

Gary had a 73-74 Chevelle pror to the 70, it was HUGE and heavy. It was a rare 454 four speed car. Driveshaft retention was a problem lol

The kid Gary sold it to drove it off the big hill in front of my parents house there on Fry road.

Thanks , Bluegrass X for the post. Those were some fantastic times for racing locally! The 3 tracks around the area would all run classes and have a huge spectator turnout for the bigger money meets. I guess the spectators morphed into bracket racers thinking class was too much effort and expense. Bob Michael

WOW! Bob Michael sending e-mail smoke signals from his tepee in Lebanon, Ohio. LOL

Here's a couple of pictures of Mr. Michael back in the day.

BTW you won't find a better ambassador for Class Racing than Bob.

Thanks, Steve. Many moons have passed over the great prairie since the fun days and I can't wait for the snow to melt off the tepee so we can get back out there! To continue with the gushing, Steve works harder on his car than anyone I know of in class racing. Beautiful well prepared and he even keeps it somewhat clean! Bob M.

Re: Any you guys remember Roger England of Columbus, IN
 

Bob, any other local guys on here who may have run at Bluegrass? I just had a 30 year reunion for the old track. First one since the track closed in 1981.

Rogers car was great. I enjoyed running with Dewey Cook, Roger, Bob and others at Edgewater.Dallas Kelly was there too. I ran my 69 Chevelle wagon. I could not go a quick as Bill Hanes in Michigan with the 350 combination but I was very competitive locally. That was fun week end racing. Who was the big guy from Greenwood Ind with the Hemi car?, Red hair, Beard.
Just remembered Danny Crawley!
