This thread lead me to think about my bus driver from 4th through 9th grades. He raced on the local dirt tracks on the weekends and seemed to use the bus route as practice. Just looked him up to find that he passed away in 2015. Turns out he served in Nam and left behind a dog named Hoosier. RIP Archie Burdette.
If you sat all the way in the back row, you would catch some air when he went over the top of the hill on Twin Lakes Rd.
