wayne1949

Hello...found this post..thanks for all the old pictures and articles. Saw my name mentioned in this clipping. I raced the #55 a red Walhborg. We raced for 3 seasons at the Joskes Las Palmas track starting in 1957 when I was 8yo. One time we went to Laredo for a club race and I won. Another time I think in 1958 we had a race at the old Pan American racetrack (1/4 mile) on Austin Highway... at intermission. Seems like it took forever to make a lap at 35mph..but what I great memory.

I will try to attach some pictures. Hope it works. Regards, Wayne Avant

San Antonio 1960

 

The photo below was taken from a far distance and I have tried to edit and focus the photos the best I could

 

On the very first page of this thread are shots from San Antonio and this one was recently found to add to the event.

 

This is the starting line up and the first 4 midgets are Pacemakers with the one on the pole #4 winning this event.

 

Directly behind him is myself in #85 and beside me is Doug McBride.

 

Behind Doug is Denny Burton and not seen on the inside of Denny and directly behind me was Larry Schild.

 

Maybe Doug can come on board and refresh my memory of the car and driver on the outside front row.

 

 

 

The pole setter had set the fasted time and was very fast in the feature race which he took honors..

 

I started third and finished in the same position..
