| Here is a great example of what the IRA had going on for the fans back in the day! The Banner Competition! Looks like Hugh Deery is pointing at the winners! |
| Paul Cameron started racing in 1959. Look at that steering wheel!! Paul upgraded cars and his driving skills along the way and got faster and faster until his retirement from racing in 1974. Paul raced his way into the top 10 in IRA points before all was said and done. Most would agree that Paul was truly one of the nice guy's at the track. Paul went for a nasty ride that caused a fire which left him severely burned over 12 % of his body with 1st, 2nd and 3rd degree burns. After a long recover process Paul jumped right back on the horse! Not only a nice guy, but truly a tough guy as well! Thanks for sharing your photo's with us. |
| Here are a couple more refrences to IRA's start. On the right is a Lakes Area Publication from May of 1968. On the left is an article about the 1972 IRA Banquet. The article says "the 5th annual banquet". 68=1st 69=2nd 70=3rd 71=4th 72=5th |
