If you looked at the top ten in points at Blanket Hill for 1964, and I think we have already mentioned the other nine, this George E. finished ahead of two of them in the standings. And nobody knows who he was. We'll just call it the "secret of Blanket Hill. :unsure:

Actually, George was a team mate of Andy Phillips.  The cars were owned by Bill Tarr of Rocky Grove.  I believe that George's number was 46.  The car was one of the 3 white mice cars previously  belonging to George Blaney.  When Blaney's owned it, it was driven to many victories by Gib Orr.
