I know he ran a USAC sprinter at Ascot back in the 60s. I do have a photo of Mel driving Blackie Fortune's dirt champ car on the Indy mile. |

As usual, you are right!
I've talked with Mel about racing a whole bunch over the years (since the mid-'60s) but I don't recall us ever talking much about sprint cars or dirt champ cars. |

Thanks, Racegal for bringing back memories from Kokomo. Before DD, I was a big Ron "Barrel" Fisher fan.
