to the shorter 50
mile races held throughout the State, and
the 3-day Cross Country race.
Winters were spent working on engines and
formulating ideas to get them to run
faster--but stay within the rules.
Bill never won the Cross Country (his
best finish was 3rd twice), but
thoroughly enjoyed each and every one he
participated in, and especially enjoyed
all the friendships he formed with other
racers and their families.
In addition to his 1925 Model T used for
racing, Bill also completely restored a
1915 Model T Touring Car--doing so on the
sly and bringing it out for it's maiden
trip during a Bozeman Jaycees
Parade. He also restored a 1924
Model T Coupe which his daughter Gillian
raced several times in the 50 mile
Bozeman race.
(note, Bill Walters, who was a charter
member of the MCCTA, passed away in 1991,
