01.17.11 Dennis Bender When I was a young photo-journalist, Ron flipped out of the 3rd & 4th turns at Reading. Understanding he was a double leg amputee in the Viet Nam war I don't think I sent it to any auto racing papers, but I do have the flip series in negatives. I think he came back to race the next week at the fairgrounds.

I was a Ron Slade fan, he really had determination when he raced and he did a good job of racing with the big boys.  He almost won a race at Bridgeport in '76 but he broke an axle late in the race and did not finish.  He was a smooth driver who always took care of his equipment.
