l-r: Prentis Ollis and Bobby Payne
Note: A few years later Bobby and myself went to the Indianapolis 500
Auto Race in Indianapolis, IN. I could hardly believe that my
Dad allowed us to take his new 1950 Ford on this trip. We parked
the car for a couple of days while we watched the races. When we
returned to the car on a Sunday afternoon I started the car and
put it in 1st gear, the car did not move. I put it in reverse and it
did not move. Someone came by and saw our predicament and looked
under the car and found that the drive shaft was missing.
Someone had stolen it while it was in the parking lot. We had to
wait until the next morning, a Monday, to get towed to a garage.
We did not have enough money to get it repaired. However, the
person in charge at the garage repaired the car and sent us on our
way. I sent him the money when I got home.
