Dick Good

For those who had the pleasure of watching one of Indiana's all time great race drivers - Dick Good of Mishawaka, Indiana...
On the 4th of July 1959, Dick Good won a supermodified race at Jackson Motor Speedway in Jackson, Michigan. He was fast qualifier at 15.79 out of a field of 37 supermod's. He won Heat 1, the Pursuit, and the Feature.
He won 13 features at Jackson that year - including 11 in a row. A $200 bounty was put on Dick to anyone who could beat him if he started the feature. The bounty was collected by an upcoming "hot shoe" who would go on to win the Indy 500 twice - Gordon Johncock.

Although not a regular competitor at Oswego, Dick Good made the long trek from Indiana to Oswego Speedway in 1962 and finished second in the Classic that year.   . . . written by Rich Arnold, Missouri
