Quote: ...remember Erling Compson? I think he was already in his early 70's when I started racing at TVD. He would drive his little orange 70 Dart Swinger from Sioux Falls (that he bought new), jack it up, swap on the slicks, and go racing. Always thought that was pretty cool. Believe he passed on around eight/nine years ago.
Yeah, they have a Mopar memorial race for him every year
His son built a real neat 68 Barracuda /hemi clone kind of street car .. ran(very) low 10's on street tires, drove it to and from track
