    It would be a great idea to put these on youtube. So many more people would get a chance to watch these, and they are all classic. Thanks Donald Davidson

    It is already on youtube and Donald Davidson is history for the speedway. Last week I was in Indy for the Motor sports show at the fair grounds and Donald Davidson was very good Mc the show there with triva of many sorts. His son is following in his foot steps for Speedway historian.
