"He (Murray Earl) had two drivers that year (1946).  His old friend from pre-war days, Harry West from Jophin Missour.  He was a careful, smart sharp chauffeur.  At times also in the same year there was Gregg Tiederman.  He was a  little cigar smoking character out of Tulsa, Oklahoma.  He drove the car and did a hell of a good job.  In fact with Ttiederman in the car, he out ran Bud Rose at Des Moines, Iowa in a heat race.  I guess it was rather funny.  Bud was trying to figure out where Tiederman was.  He was looking over his shoulder, he was looking one way and Tiederman got him the other way.  Probably one of the car's outstanding moments."
