    :D While moving in the Champion building at the Indianapolis World of Wheels and Tom Culbertsons Motorama 62, a homeless man was found living in a old milk truck listening to Johny Cash, Carl Perkins and Jimmy Buffett.
    When interviewed " Rocko Hodges" (age unknown) was found to be a sprint car driver from years ago.
    Hodges said someone let him in at a car show and he just stayed there. How long he had lived there is unknown.:D :D :D

    We gave him a t shirt and a beer and let him stay for the weekend.

    That homeless dude can wheel a car!!!

    I dont think his current contraption is going run the cushion too well though.

    I liked one of his old rides better.

    Picture from Eldora Speedway sometime around 99 or 2000 i believe.

    Rocky was fun to watch!
