re: Capt. Steve Shook - Golden Meadow

I have a none fishing related story, Steve use to drag race VW Beetles in the mid 70’s. Carroll’s Raceway a dirt oval which is now Baton Rouge Raceway had a VW class to which Harry Littlefield, who’s family owned Roadrunner towing, talked Steve into putting his drag motor in his dirt car for a race. As luck would have it Littlefield flipped the car in first turn on first lap with the car ending up upside down. I remember Steve running out on the track never even looking at Littlefield that was hanging upside down but was only concerned about his motor ??. Steve had his motor out of Littlefield’s car before they left the racetrack that night!
