Paul Goldsmith is now 97 and still runs an airport in Griffith Indiana. As of a couple of years ago he was still flying airplanes.

C.L. Pritchett won the first dirt race I ever saw at the Lavonia Georgia (Jo-jah) Speedway.

Note: I am not sure if the 1960 Chevrolet was used to tow or not, I like the thought.
