    I could be wrong but I believe this was another Dizz Wilson deal. That may be Wilson at the right rear. Maybe someone else knows for sure.

    Don't think it's Dizz. The guy is too tall and the face shape doesn't look like Dizz either.

    Wilson did wrenched for Karl Hall (Commercial Motor Freight 75) at Indy with Marv Pifer up but I don't know if he was the full time wrench (?)

    I think that this shows Dizz on the left and Pifer on the right. Capture dizz.JPG

    I believe that Marvin got in three Qualification laps in this car that would have been fast enough to make the show. But the car owner waived off the attempt and Dizz and Pifer never got another chance to an attempt.

    I saw Leroy race in Australia (in midgets) and quite a few years ago I met his sister who was living here in Brownsburg, IN. Last weekend while I was at the CHRR at Bakersfield I met his son who told me some interesting stories about how Leroy made some extra money while "down under".

    Godspeed Don, He was one of the first people I met in the vintage scene and was the owner of possibly the most beautiful race car ever to hit the track.
