Per Cliff..."A couple of British guys..."
Cliff with his Stock Car "Squeaky" 1953... Cliff told me he did'n't really like Stock Car racing too much, they were too big and clunky for him. He preferred the open wheel Midgets...
Cliff and his brother 60's?
As promised Cliff Macoy came to visit with me on Saturday. He brought over a bunch of photo albums and we sat at the kitchen table looking through every picture as he relayed his history in Midget Racing, Aviation and life in general to me...Great stories and great photos! I managed to run a few photos through the scanner while he was here. It was all a bit overwhelming, as I was trying to soak in the stories of WWII pilots he knew, racing history, motorcycles, family...damn I wish I had a tape recorder! Tales of american heroes like A.J. Foyt and Chuck Yeager, their families, friends, adventures...incredible!
It was a great morning! Enjoy the photos!
Sounds like a real cool guy. You meet the nicest people on a Knuck...
