[QUOTE="1 BAD 9T9, post: 299122, member: 3083"] WOW! GREAT STORY! Thanks Murray for the memories and the posthumous recognitions of Gary Witter #19 and Jimmy Howard #38.. As you know I was a small part of those races where Gary, Jimmy and many others blasted around the southern Ontario short tracks before going to Oswego. I started racing supers at the CNE (Toronto) with Jim Milson and then Flamboro (Hamilton), Bridgeport (Kitchener) and Nilestown (London) with Joe Hlywka. Unfortunately all have passed. Maybe you should have mentioned another great from that era and that was “Terrible Ted” Hogan who died in a plane crash in 1960 before Flamboro was built in 1962. But he would have given everybody a run for their money in his Doug Duncan built supers. I have an anecdote to the guys who thought they were so fast back then, including the likes of Harvey Lennox and his "Tammy Ten". One day at Flamboro Speedway this American from Hastings, Michigan came up in what looked like a red, beat up jalopy, but he went out and and ran laps a half a second faster than any of the locals. Needless to say he won everything that day. later Gordon Johncock went on to win the Indy 500 twice - what a driver! Not to dilute your story but here are some pictures to go with the above for those outside southern Ontario in the 1960's. As the supers evolved - Canadian National Exhibition stadium 1961 [ATTACH type="full"]107240[/ATTACH] Ted Hogan and a Duncan built car. [ATTACH type="full" width="469px"]107241[/ATTACH] Joe Hlywka [ATTACH type="full"]107243[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]107242[/ATTACH] Harvey Lennox [ATTACH type="full" width="400px"]107244[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
