Comments provided Don McMinn, (nephew of Charles McMinn) - Just Found your site on the Internet while searching for Family Tree History. My Name is Don & I am a nephew to Charles Leon McMinn aka: Minnie. Not sure how many years Leon drove stock car # V7 or how many wins he had. I did know he loved doing it & that's what took his life on the night of June 8, 1962. I had never been to the races before and was to go the week before the accident, but the race was rained out. Uncle Leon said he would pick me up next week but never did. I understand he was late getting to the track due to work & didn't have time to come pick me as I did not live close to the track. I was 15 at the time and & excited to go to the races, but after much time had passed my mother took me off to visit family & that's when we received the call. I am attaching a picture & paper clipping in his memory. Thank you for your Time, Don McMinn 11-12-2010 PS. Would like to have a good picture of Leon & the V7 car if anyone has one. donny57@verizon.net |
