Fearless and determined. That is Ron Wynn! He is an ex-yankee who began his racing career in Connectticut and Indiana, where he drove Midgets and Sprint cars.
Ron ran TQ's and modified minis up until 1975 or so. Here he carries the stick in a car he had just bought from Gene Barfield.
Look familiar? Ron scores another win in the #91 he bought from Dr. C. Marshall House. I wish I had a color picture of this car: it was painted bright flamingo pink!
Some aerodynamic work soon appeared as Ron built a "choptop" Anglia.
After Florida City, Ron continued in mini stocks, and ran his own LM in S. Florida for many years. His next adventure was to terrorize swamps with a drag racing airboat.
T-Bone! Ron was driving the #3, and tried his best to move a spinning competitor out of the way at Hialeah on June 25, 1978.

Check out the cool bamboo numbers on this Toyota at Hialeah.
I am searching for pictures of Ron's late models.
On one memorable night at Hialeah, he won both the Modified Mini and Late Model features!
