Does anyone remember Lakehill Speedway in Valley Park Missouri? I remember going many times in my teens and early twenties, and watch guys like Kenny Schrader, Rusty Wallace, and later Kenny, and Mike Wallace roar around that 1/4 mile high bank asphalt track. I use to go to St. Charles Speedway (1/4 mile dirt) a lot also, and to pevely's dirt track (1/3 mile=FAST)
anyway, back to Lakehill, sometime around '79, '80, or maybe '81 do you remember a guy that called himself "The Missouri Wildman"? he was at Lakehill one night, and did a ramp to ground jump of about 70 feet.
He was driving a 1966 Chevelle, two door, with aluminum slot wheels. He had it painted bright yellow after he talked me into selling it to him for this jump. That was my first car before he destroyed it, and he is my crazy brother Mike. He also made a ramp to car jump earlier at st.charles speedway using a yellow '70 nova, he landed on the 11th car.
A couple more minor jumps, and his dream of being a stunt man was over
