Dave did come up and ride in the late Fall(after Fairmount closed for the season) at Hawthorne for several years. Most of his mounts were for Fairmount outfits that also made the trek north. He won some races in Stickney... again, mostly on Fairmount stock. Chicago-based Mike Reavis did use him but not too many locals did.
