Jack rich built the ncra type cars and midgets stopped making sprint cars after buddy Taylor was killed in one of his cars ? Right?

I remember old guys tell a story about one night at a Mid-America Fairgrounds Sprint car show in Topeka somehow officials let"Fast Eddie" Leavitt drive a full midget. In the feature the green flag dropped and he passed everyone before turn 1. As he pitched it sideways he gestured with his left arm to the group of roaring sprinters behind him to catch up. I've heard several versions of the tale but question if anyone remembers actually seeing it. Eddie was a charactor.

Brian,
This is a Walker car, Aaron had them build it, the torsion tubes were under the seat and the arms ran back to the shackle plates, Aaron ran this afew times and Grady Wade drove it also for Aaron, I also believe this is the first car that Larry Madden drove. Somewhere in this thread you have posted a pic of this car that has Larry's name on it. Jim would know alot about this car it was in the time he worked for Aaron. George bought this car and put the 6 cyl. in it and was pretty fast at OKC & Goldsby. I remember he won 2 or 3 A-Fea. in it during this time at OKC, I believe it worked real well on the dry slick.

Yeah I know George, he's married to my cousin Sally. I wouldn't know the details about his car I just thought it was cool you knew George.

I was one of those that wrenched on Nance Machine Shop's #11 6cyl Chevy rail driven by Grady Wade at Hutch Nationals in 1963 , I also was on Mr. Nance's pit crew when #11 raced that year. Growing up in the same neighborhood as the machine shop & Grady who was 5 years older than me & I having a Dad that was an automotive machinist & fabricator, Nance's on 29th was a likely place for me to be. I'm past 80 now & find myself thinking, where is that #11 rail now. Does any know it's location these days ?
