Joe Hines is racing in the clouds. I talked to him back when I bought the car and he provided me with a few period pictures and some background. He ran the car just one year and continued on with other cars. He ran a few time in the Daytona 500. T.J. Kelly was a long time Morgan racer but I haven’t been able to locate him. Wilber Pickett has a long racing resume and he even shared a car with Bob Tullius at some point. C.C Canada was around a bit too. Does anyone know of the whereabouts of any of these drivers?
