50 years ago this week Parnelli Jones won the 1964 Turkey Night Midget Grand Prix at Ascot Park Gardena, CA. He also won in 1966. In 2014 Parnelli was the "Grand Marshal" for Turkey Night and is seen here holding a special gift of a Tribute Helmet worn by and presented by driver Rico Abreu, who finished 5th in the Grand Prix and is the 2014 USAC National Midget Champion.
Great picture........and a great reminder of the golden years of dirt track racing ........and real RACERS like Parnelli Jones
Cool pic. My dad worked for Dan Gurney when I was growing up. I had no idea who these old guys where when I was running around AAR as a kid. Now I know they are Legends! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
From the look of the track this photo was made early in the night. I hope the races had a good turn out. Tom I always look at all your fine post. Keep up the good work.... Bobby.......
