As told be Ronald Dearman: That is Doc Bass at the far right, 3rd from right is Bill Bass, Doc's brother, 3rd from left is my dad Bill Dearman. I read on your site somewhere that Doc set up lval's first car at Motors Inc. My dad, Bill Dearman worked for Doc at Motors Inc, from ‘48-‘52. He was on Doc's crew with the #1 Hornet. I remember when I was about six years old. I went to work with daddy and saw the Hornet for the first time. It is stuck in my mind to this very day. You might say I got dirt in my blood at Motors Inc. Anytime you went into the shop at Motors Inc. you could find one of Doc's or somebody else’s dirt car in the far left corner. If you know dirt racing, you should know about Doc Bass and his cigar.
