Sitting here, and I realize I was wrong. The sun visor deal was with my second car, a '56 2dr sedan, at the Dallas (actually in Lewisville) track. My first ever points race was at Odessa, Texas. I had a '56 wagon. Never had wipers on it. Raced several Tulsa, OKC, and Ft Smith, AR. First ever points race, I went through tech right behind Jim Hayter's new '67 Z28 Camaro. Saw Jim at home all the time. He had no wipers. Went right through tech. My turn, Red says "Next time I see this car, it had better have windshield wiper! Stupid kid I was, I pointed out that Jim had no wipers. LOL That was not what to say to Red! Guys here that knew Red knows how dumb that was! WOW His face got as red as his hair. LOL I put wipers on when I got home. I was told by another racer, that I was lucky I didn't have to tow it back home. Took most of the season before he would even speak to me more than he had to. I could say hello, he would not answer me. We got to be friends. Took a record tear down before he got friendly. Think I wasn't nervous during that tear down.
