I'm not good at following instructions. I noticed that you like a post on newbies. Anyway I 'm Earls oldest son Joe. I drove midgets from 1971 to 1983. I race them in Iowa, Wisc., Indiana, Illinios, MO. Nebraska, Colorado, [ at Lakeside and Pikes Peak speedways in '73] Minnesota, and South Dakota. I had a Kurtis Chevy ll but dad couldn't make it run so he put an offy in it. I drove his car "Baby" alot after I got my first Sprint car in "76. I won a few races in her. I love the midgets but my racing career was mainly Sprint cars. I retired for active compition after the 2006 season. My son Joseph drives for me now and so does the son of the ledgenary Jerry Richert Sr., Jerry Richert Jr. [Sonny]. I live in Lino lakes, Mn a suburb of Mpls. This board bring back many memories of my childhood in Colorado. I am glad we found it to share our dads history.
