I believe he either won or placed in that first race ever and the rest was history. Worked his way up to USAC and raced for many years.

And don't forget...Super Tex raced at the 24 Hours of Daytona in a 935 that he'd never seen let alone driven and set pole position and an absolute lap record...IN THE RAIN. It was unreal. If memory serves he was teamed with the late Bob Wollek.
Good memories.
What's this thread about again...I forget.
