Attn: Billy Casey…
Did you and Richie Prokop ever line up against each other at Dover…??? Must have. Tell me about it…!!!
Maso
I want to know if Casey and Prokop ever duked it out on the Dover asphault. Seems to me they must have. You see… Billy and Richie knew each other well, comming from the same neighborhood more or less and having some of the same hang-outs.
The last time I went to Dover was in ’65, I never knew about Casey’s Pumpkins until this web site… and I only saw Prokop’s Chevy once in his garage when it was still under construction… never saw it run. The last time I saw Billy Casey, he still had the red ’40 Ford Tudor with the flathead with cast iron heads…
