With the 'stock car racing sea- son better than half over for this year, our local Jack ',The Ripper!, McCutcheon has been holding his own with the rest of the drivers. He was currently the leading point driver at Delaware Race- way until a week ago when min- or difficulties occurred dropping him back to second spot. This past week proved a little hectic when he "Popped" his engine at the special holiday rcee Monday night at Deleware. By Friday night the. car was hack in running order. Jack picked up a third and fourth spot in the heat races' and came hack strong :to carry the checkered flag as the feature winner also at Dele- ware Raceway. Saturday night at Flamboro •SPeedway wasn't quite so reward- ing. He won the first race but was bumped around a little in the second and didn't fair so well. In the feature race, he brought the crowd to their feet when he lost a rear wheel and spun around on the track and was hit by another car. He step' ped out of the car a little dazed hut otherwise an right. Quick work in the pit brought the car back out on the track to finish. the race. It can't all be bad though. Three Weeks ago Jack was the recipient of a beautiful trophy and jacket when he won the special "Fireball 500" race held at Fla.mboro Speedway Another addition to his collection. Give the local men a pat on the hack for completely building this year's race car themselves., It was an interesting challenge and a Personal achievement for those involved.
