    Dick Wallace or Metcalf

    Dick went by both of those name's on the west coast of Northern California. He had the TV racing show for some years out there in the sixties called,
    "Spot light on speed".
    He did most of the filming and editing along with the interviews.
    I was wondering what ever happend to this guy?
    Anybody have any information on him.
    Thanks aXe

    IF the IRL raced like that other series, There would be no "IRL" by now.

    He also used to write a column that they ran in "Racing Wheels" newspaper (also called Spotlight on Speed) that featured all the goings in in Northern California. Wasn't he also the track announcer somewhere?
    Man, sprint cars and modifieds in Northern CA back in the '60s and 70s, those were the days!

    Thats the guy. In real life he was a teacher, some times substitute depending on his other goings on. He taught I know at the Santa Clara High school in Santa clara Ca.
