I did not reproduce the 47 year old racing t-shirt to make money selling t-shirts. Just to enjoy some of my great racing memories..

Thanks for your support.

I never knew Burt Ross held it for a while in 1960 he was a good friend and OMC. Rep for us, here he is shaking my dads hand.

Hey Matt. Burt and Jack Leek were brothers-in-law. Their wives (Zona and Charlsie) were sisters.

Sad news for this thread and for America. Briggs and Stratton filer for bankruptcy this week. Many did not know they were OMC's parent company.

Stephan Briggs owned both companies, but I am not certain OMC was owned by Briggs and Stratton Inc. When OMC became listed on the NYSE, Briggs was the first man to own controlling interest in 2 companies listed on the exchange.
