Let me just say that this is a perfect example of what You Tube should be. Sharing movies and videos that so many people would never have seen and a nostalgic trip back for others. I grew up in a sprint car family. My dad, Chuck Hulse, a 4 time Indy 500 starter and CRA sprint car champion driving mostly in So Cal (Ascot) but did have one particularly interesting night at West Capital in 1959. Leading the feature with 3 laps to go he tangled with some lapped traffic and lost the left front tire and wheel. He managed to hold on to 2nd place on 3 wheels. We moved to the Placerville area in 1968 and I was lucky enough to see many races at this track in the late 60's. Thanks again for your efforts making this "gem" available for the world to see.

Thank you for posting this video was so awesome watching my dad Frank Sherman leading the race. He passed away in 1984 miss him so much!
