Ernie Cerr Leads With Speed and Skill in IMCA Stock Cars

A column lauds Ernie Cerr for winning 20 TMCA features last year, sweeping the Hawk Eye 200, and setting a world record in time trials. It notes his seven IMCA championships in 14 years, plus Keokuk drivers’ dominance, and praises his driving, tuning, and crew. The piece also highlights Iowa high school girls golf stars Vickie Hargrave and Imogene Dahl for posting 183 and 184 scores, framing bravery over par. It ends with playful references to Roger Baskerville and Chuck Rayne and a quip about Clark Kent.
