Meet the Author
I am a life long fan of auto racing and got hooked on the sport with my family prior to high school. I finally started attending Tulsa Speedway on a regular basis as a high school student in 1963. I started writing race recaps on Tulsa for National Speed Sport News that same year and soon joined the staff of the Speedway News in 1971. In 1974 I became Speedway News editor and continued in the role into the 90's after the track moved away from the fairgrounds.
I am still involved in racing around the area and felt a book was needed to document the history of racing on the fairgrounds with hopes the past will not be forgotten.
I hope you enjoy this book.
