Smitty operated fairly independently in &quot; Canonsburg &quot;. He survived financially by restoring old sprint and track cars for people like Ed Lowther.

I remember that car from Green Valley Raceway (North Hills Raceway) in PA. On the nights we didn't go to watch we could hear the cars from our yard, we lived less than 5 miles away. I-279 is now where the track was.
