Claiming track championships at four different speedways, Merrittville, Cayuga, Ransomville and Humberstone…”Drivin” Ivan Little garnered respect among both his competitors and fans alike! “I have to give so much thanks to one of ARRA’s associates Jeffery Anstett for this great piece of work.” claimed ARRA President Fred Voorhees Friday as he announced the addition of Little’s research project being wrapped up and thrown up on the organizations website which has researched and documented the careers of so many various superstar drivers. ARRA was so fortunate to cross paths with Anstett while they were just getting their feet wet in the research of Canadian drivers and tracks! “We sure were!” exclaimed Voorhees, in speaking about how Jeff found his way to the group. “I honestly forget what we were involved in when first contacted by Jeff, but I am sure it had something to do with racing up North. Jeff has always been there for questions and advice on where to look for stuff or who to go to. He has proven to be one of ARRA’s dependable associates from up in Canada and now devotes much time to researching the racing in Canada and he assures me that he has more big name dirt track drivers in the bull pen that he has already begun to assemble the career records for.” “I have seen the list of drivers he has already begun to take a look at and I can say, I am anxiously awaiting those projects from Jeff! NOW, my focus it to get him to join us as a full fledged historian member of our group! He is certainly doing historian-worthy work on his end and he belongs amongst us!” Fans wishing to view the newest ARRA entry onto the roster of researched drivers can view Ivan Little’s career page here: https://sites.google.com/site/arracarsdriversevents/home/little-ivan Auto Racing Research Associates is a growing group of over forty auto racing historians across the country banded together for the purpose of the research, documentation and displaying of auto racing history such as driver win statistics, track, racing series and organizations histories and also the background of racing personalities, particular cars from the past and various other interesting facts of racing history that should not be forgotten.
