Jackson and Spartan (Lansing) had the same owners from 1958 through 1964 and again for 1970 until it closed in 1973. I have noticed while scanninng old timing sheets that Ken Buchner raced at Jackson as far back as 1965, still in the good old #13. I believe that Ron Parrish also has turned a few laps at Jackson. Bill Lackey pretty much grew up at the the track. Who was your favorite driver way back the Bill? Just a few tid bits. There is still time to get your tickets. Again if you are not on the mailing list or lost your flyer, email me at martyb@acd.net and I will send the info to you. Hope to see you there. Thanks Marty Blume
