Otto Harwi had a terrific year in 1956 driving the 1937 Ford sedan # 999 of Sonny Dornberger. These results are all I can find for this special season. This post is dedicated to Sherrie Dornberger who (I believe) was welcomed into this world by Sonny and Edie at the end of June that year. If anyone can furnish more information, please feel free to do so.
