What do you know about…

Hello my name is Joe Britton. I am writing to find out some information about my uncle’s racing career. His name is Bobby Waldon. He raced in the 50’s and 60’s. I think he got out of racing in 1970 or 71.

I know he was involved with Carl Stone and his ‘32 Roadster. He built his first dragster in 1961. Ted Arnold was the driver. The car was Arnold and Waldon’s B/Gas Dragster. At one time it might have been Arnold , Nelson and Waldon.

Anyway I do know he won the Nationals and had a World Championship. I do have several Drag News papers with them in them. I think he also got involved with altereds. He, Vance Hunt, and some others started the North Texas Timing Association

He and Ted also had a speed record of 9.72 @ 151m.p.h. He and Buck Cumby had an F/G 34 Ford. Ted Arnold was killed September 1 1963 at Green Valley. Can anyone confirm this, and whose car he was driving that day?

I have attached a program for Sept. 9-10, 1961 at Caddo Mills, with a write up on them. They also were Texas State Champions.

Anyone with more information, please post it here, it would be greatly appreciated.
