I well remember the story of them dynoing an engine at Reher-Morrison's shop with no oil pan in their quest for power. Buddy told them they were responsible for the cleanup. Yeah.
Also, they ran a SS final against Dwight Cox at Jackson MS after dark. Ricky ran down to about the 1000 ft mark and turned off his headlights. Dwight lost him in the dark and when Ricky came back into view at the finish line, he panicked an slammed on the brakes to keep from breaking out. Ricky cruised by for the win.
Leo owned a nursery and when they first started racing the Nova, they would haul the car on one of the flatbed trucks from the landscape business. Once they showed up at Baton Rouge and the truck still had some sod stacked right behind the cab and lots of dirt all over the bed. Red Anderson would not let them tech the car while it was still loaded up. He also would not let them go to the pits, but made them unload it at the back of the line.
Great racers, very entertaining and good folks!
