08/25/04 3-Wide Here's a great shot of one of the best on either dirt or on asphalt early in his career.  Don recentely joined us to say hello to a few fans during intermission at New Egypt Speedway on Aug 7th, 2004 while up visiting from Florida.   Don tells us that he took the red #3 coupe off the selling block and has been getting the job done doing some vintage racing in the Central Florida area behind the wheel of the very competitive coupe.
09/02/05 Bob Stives When my grandmother figured out just exactly what my dad was doing in the back yard, she wanted to dispatch my grandfather out there to stop him. Grandpop said he would rather see the boy race on a track than on the street. Race on the track he did, for over thirty years! 
12/25/2005 Bob Stives Dad once told me it cost him $200.00 to build and run this car that first season. At the end of the racing, he junked it. He started on next year's car after that.
