Just wanted to say that my dad Harry Kurtz had a great time at the get together on Saturday. Some of you know him from his days with Carl Balderson running Ohio Valley Speedway, or perhaps from helping with Pete Smith's sprint cars, but dad also drove a midget for several years in the '50s. There are only two surviving pictures of it, and I use the better one as my profile picture. However, I figured this was as good a time as any to throw out the other picture of my dad's black and red, flathead powered midget sitting in front of my grandfather's service station at 7th and Ellis in Parkersburg (I think that is my uncle in the drivers seat).

It's a small world as my dad and I also owned the Texaco station at 7th and Ellis in Parkersburg and here is a pic of my first car , a street stock , in front of it . Sorry I had to miss the reunion , but I hope to make the next one .
