Stock Car Racing Days

Throughout the '60's and '70's, Douglas drove a few different stock cars at many different race tracks in Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, and Texas. Racing was in his blood -- he loved driving, he loved working on the cars. He placed in the top ten winners in Tulsa in 1970. Many of the drivers had more sponsors, had more money and won more races, but, few had more fun and enjoyed it any more than he did !! Every driver had their specific fans that cheered for them and crowded around them after a race. There was always a beautiful girl to give a trophy to the winner of a "Trophy Dash". Our daughter, Tamera, was that girl one August Saturday night in Tulsa when Douglas won that race. Tulsa Speedway proved to be the most difficult for Douglas. Most of the many trophies he won came from other tracks he raced.
