mfbarnes Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Super Tex and Doc Cossey..........thanks Budman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakdad Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 This is great stuff! None of the prima donas over the last 20 years could survive racing in the 60s and back. What??? No power steering? No air conditioning? Most would make better shoe salesmen.................than race drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Just a note about that picture of Doc Cossey. Its a little hard to tell, but in the photo he is wearing a satin jacket. That was the standard driving uniform back in that day, satin shirts or jackets in cooler weather, and white pants. The tradition stemmed from the "silk" shirts worn by horse racing jockeys. Most of the midget racing done at that time was on horse racing tracks. Stock car racing didn't yet really exist to any extent around here at that time. Midget racing was a very popular form of entertainment back then, with weekly crowds often numbering in the thousands. Drivers were very much aware they not only were just drivers but also entertainers. There were some real characters in the sport back then, even at the local level.

mfbarnes Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Aj still in an open cockpit sled while others have upgraded, that's typical AJ. This is Definatly DuQoin, and AJ doing what he does The story according to Lee Cade is AJ showed up to the Fairgrounds as Grand Marshall for the 100, and some punk popped off about AJ getting up in age. Super Tex stormed off and bought a local midget on the spot for cash, put on a driving clinic and showed them what he thought about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
