Spencer, Iowa (September 14, 1962) – Bob Reynolds of Edmond, Okla., driving the last 17 laps without brakes, won the 100-lap International Motor Contest Association late model stock car contest in record time at the Clay County Fair on Friday afternoon.
Reynolds, driving a 1962 Ford, was clocked in 47 minutes and 18.81 seconds, better than two minutes faster than the old record set by Keokuk’s Ernie Derr two years ago. Derr finished second to Reynolds in the long-endurance race.
Reynolds also set a new standard in qualifying, touring the half-mile dirt oval in 28.08 seconds, bettering Derr’s old mark of 28.68 seconds.
