Oskaloosa, Iowa (May 24, 1978) – Pete Parker made his long trip from Kaukauna, Wis., pay off by winning the late model feature at Southern Iowa Speedway on Wednesday night.
Parker slipped past last week’s winner, Curt Hansen of Dike, on lap 9 of the 25-lap feature after a tremendous side-by-side duel.
Hansen finished second followed by Waterloo drivers Tom Bartholomew and Ed Sanger. Roger Dolan of Lisbon finished fifth.
Hansen, Parker, and Bartholomew were heat winners while Waterloo’s Dick Schiltz won the Australian Pursuit.
