having been involved mostly in dirt track racing most of my racing years....my "whites" were heavliy stained..every year i bought 6 brand new pairs of white jeans and we ordered our 43H racing shirts to go with em..they were my standard "yellow base color,with red lettering and a black highlight on the lettering.
in this pic,girl on the left..my GF at the time Dianna,she and the guy far right Bill Mispley,they have the shirts from 1980 i used 43C on that car....it was mandatory as it was the old "Claimer" division,we didnt even have yellow flags..the guy in the Addiad's shirt...thats Allen Mispley....he now works for JGR ,he works in the engine shop,a few years ago with the engine blew up on the dyno machine in the shop at JGR,it was allen who was the man who went in and put the fire out,,and that they said had minor injuries..bill,and allen and i grew next door to eachother,our dads were inthe vol FD and the Auburn Jeep club together...among many other things..lol...Allen also has 5 indy 500 wins under his belt as the engine builder,i dont follow the open wheel cars much..but when they changed to all one make of engine it put him out of a job....he was building race engines out of sacramento...the entire company shut down...and he went to JGR...
