Johnny was a big man in size. He was always in the running to win a race and won many a feature! I remember him driving his convertible with a scarf around his face. His Chevy motor wound up high RPMS. It was loud ..especially when the zoomies came out through the hood of the car. Some of the photos will get bigger if you click on them.

Johnny Moss of Iowa City won the 25-lap late model feature at the Iowa State Fair
on Sunday afternoon, August 30, 1970. Moss had to have his victory lane photo
taken with him sitting in his car because he had ripped the seat of his pants
out during the race.

The race many remember, lap after lap Mosier and Moss front bumper next to front bumper!
