Senior Moment Provided by Russ Dodge: Rags? Or Rex? The year is 1955! The
driver, Rags Carter! The place is Vineland Speedway. The discovery of the
information this photo provided was a surprise since my memory placed Rags
Carter as one of the “Florida Invaders” of the early 60’s. My memory placed
Bob Malzahn, Bob Weisemeyer and Will Cagle, as the early “arrivals” in the
late 1950’s followed by Allison, Hearne, Griffin, Tillman, Brack and others
in the early 60’s. Rags would probably be best included with this group if
it weren’t for this photo of an earlier appearance. |

09.10.09 | Alan Carter Jr. | I remember that year, I was only 7 but I can still remember being at Pete's house. I can't remember if we stayed with Pete at his house or sometimes I think he had an apartment on top of the gas station. I'm just not sure. I do know dad worked for him while we were there. The funniest thing happen one day dad was on top of the oil delivery truck filling it when the fire alarm in town went off. Dad had no idea what was going on so he jumped off the top of the truck and ran. I guess he thought it was going to blow up or something. You see we didn't have volunteer fire company's in Miami so he had no idea what the alarm was for. When we moved back north for good in 64 I remember going by Pete's for a visit. I do e-mail his daughter Kris once in a while. |
