Ernie Derr mid 1960's

I got these two photos off of a Wisconsin Racing Photo website.

Here is Ernie Derr in 1964 in a Plymouth.  

I remember him bringing this car to the Louisa County Fairgrounds in Columbus Junction, Iowa for an IMCA Late Model Race and when 

he drove the car out of the infield/pitts, he stomped on the 

accelerator on the big HEMI and the whole grandstand SHOOK!!!!  

That is something you never forget.  I don't think that the IMCA 

ran too many races on pavement.  Most of their races at the time were

on dirt county and state fair ground tracks. 

Here is Ernie in a Dodge I believe in 1965.

Ernie is #3 and Bob Julusa is #1.  I wish there was 

a tour of stock cars that ran on dirt that the cars acutally looked like

the cars you drive on the road, like they did back in 

those days!

I love Old Threshing photos

I like to look at Old Threshing Photos.  I could of lived in those days.  Diane's grandpa Hoopes, used to do the threshing run from Kansas up into Canada when he was in college back in the late 20's.  Here is a 1914 photo.
