I would like to dedicate this book to the memory of Mr. Wayne Knipple who unfortunately passed away two weeks after I had the opportunity to interview him. Despite many health problems, Mr Knipple still had many good memories and stories regarding the Greater Johnstown Speedway. He seemed to light up with excitement while telling me his memories of his driving career. I only regret I didn't get to see him race in person. I will always remember his stories with fondness and thank him for sharing them with me.
