I was not around when these 2 drove but from everything I have read and the respect that many of the drivers had for these two I wish I had the chance to see Jan Opperman and Tommy Hinnershitz .
Ray Kable. His # 90 coupe is in the Emmr museum . I think he drove a sprint car at 1 time and had 1 feature win . He was called Mr Flathead for making his flathead motors run fast .He along with Pee Wee Pobblits , Chuck Talbert Jr Talbur Roy Coghill were all part of the making of Nascar. If you look in the record books and list of results in the 50s you will see all there names.
