Who are the only two Oklahoma car owners to be in the top twenty-five in points for car owners during the 1984 Sliver Crown Season?

Loyd K. Stephens/Ofixco and Larry Hill/Hill and Kearney?

It was only Stephens and Hill. Which leads me to a second question what was the car's name from Hill and no it was not Hill as David said?

Larry Hill owned a car with his long-time Kansas friend Bud Kearney - which was the Kearney and Hill USAC dirt champ car. I believe Mike Peters was the driver that year.

The driver for the Ofixco USAC champ dirt car was Ron Shuman I believe.

Well I have the 85 Hulman Hundred program sitting right next to me, just got it from a friend in Cali,and it has the owner of the number 86 car was Larry Hill from Midwest City for 84 season. No mention of Kearney as co-owner. In 85 TJ Giddings from Kansas City was in the car for the Hulman Hundred and Stephens had Swindell in his car.

The car name for Larry Hill's car was named Oklahoma City Fairgrounds Speedway #86.

Which year was it when Vuky Jr. drove Hills car & dumped hard in turn 4 during the USAC/NCRA challange? My memory has failed me, was it 83' or 84?

I was there in '84, but can't remember it. Wish I had a video of that one or any of them. There ought to be a way to pool all the cool videos of the old days. There are some real gems out there.

I was there to. I was only 9 in 83 and 10 in 84. I remember bits and pieces of the race.

Crap, my memory is letting me down. I think Vuky dumped the car coming off turn four in '83.

BUB Kearney and Larry Hill were the car owners through the mid-80's.

That car had some pretty good shoes behind the wheel--Schrader, Vukovich, Giddings, Peters, Jennings, etc.

Shuman hustled the OFIXCO a lot. Who can name the other OFIXCO USAC dirt champ driver during that era?

Bill I wasnt trying to be a smart a** or anything about it just telling what the program said.

No thinking you were trying to be an a$%.

My memory is pretty good but I can't tell you who was driving Larry's car at the '84 Hulman Hundred.

It was Vukovich and he finished 8th and made 1300 bucks lol.

I got a buddy in Cali and there dad ran midgets out there and they have tons of old programs and such. You should see some of the stuff I have gotten.

I remember when American Nat'l Bank (Bank of Okla) at SE 15th & Midwest Blvd had the Hill/Kearney trailer sitting in the lot where all the repo cars sat. It had quite the lettering/paint

scheme for even back then.

Ah memories of my youth...... of the oil boom gone bust .....Cruisin'12th street in Moore & Air Depot in MWC after Friday nights races. .The champ car days... The rivalries of Bob Ewell vs Mike Peters

Jeff Abernathy & Glen Owens Bill South & Mike Spivey

Greg Wooley vs the world...............

Makes me teary-eyed thinkin about it..............

You know how the say the past will always show up in the future Well my dad use to work with a guy that helped Wooley and now my nephew is being babysitted by Wooley's parents and Greg's dad use to work with my grandfather at the coke plant.

Wasn't it George "Ziggy" Snider? Now remember, he is saying USAC champ dirt car. Not the NCRA champ dirt car.

Kramer Williamson drove the OFIXCO champ car during those days.

Don't remember who "Ziggy" drove for but it was #9 in '84. He's one of the coolest guys I've ever met at the speedway.
