Bob Judd

Last week, I think it was, I was Googling things such as “Arkansas River” and “Great Bend” and came up with this wonderfully-written and charming story that Bob Judd wrote about his parents in Zyzzyva called “Cora and Clarence and Cars.”

So, I sent an e-mail to this California writer and he sent me an article he had written about the racetrack and midget cars in Belleville, Kansas, some time back. I loved it.

Here’s Part I – Monaco, Spa, LeMans, Indy and Belleville. Yes, Belleville, Kansas is one of the world’s great racetracks.

And Part II – The Beast and the Beauty of Belleville. Report from the Middle of America, Part 2.

Here’s the home page of his blog.
