Charles Tidwell (February 3, 1921 – May 4, 1990) was an American race car driver, best known for his career driving stock cars in NASCAR, GASCAR, and MARC circuits. He raced all over the southeastern United States from 1948 to 1959, owning a small track at one time at Talladega, Alabama. His hometown was Macon, Georgia, where he entered many races at the Central City Park racetrack. He raced in the last race ever held at the Central City Park track, held in 1953. He was on the board of governors with GASCAR. He gave his car the number 6 because his home was at 6 Dessau Place in Macon, Georgia. The names of some of his racecars were "The Flying B", "The Dutchess" (his first wife's nickname), "Flying Saucer, and "Ali Khan". During his career, he was rated as the top driver on the strictly stock circuit in the southeast and in his homestate, Georgia. He won 34 track victories in one year, which was the most wins of any other racer in Georgia. He also held the title of Southeastern Champion for 8 years. In June 1949, he set a track record at Central City Park raceway at a speed of 32.2 seconds, and he also set a track record at the Albany, Georgia speedway for 31.2 seconds in 1952. Tidwell raced at the first race ever held at the Darlington, SC racetrack. During that race, he drove an Oldsmobile 88, number 102, called the Heart of Georgia Special. In an undated racing announcement, Tidwell's comment was "Beginning now - destined for victory".
Charles Tidwell was the son of Lillie Mae Clark Tidwell and Charlie Clifton Tidwell. He was born in Crawford County, Georgia and raised in Macon, Georgia. He was the eldest of three boys. His brothers were, Billy L. Tidwell, who also raced cars, and Jesse B. "Pop" Tidwell. Tidwell was married twice. His first marriage was to Mildred Smith Tidwell and they had two daughters, Sandra Tidwell and Charlotte Tidwell Roberts. His second marriage in 1963 was to LaTrelle Russ Tidwell and they had one daughter, Angela "Connie" Tidwell Frady. His widow, LaTrelle Russ Tidwell, is the owner of his legacy.[1]
Tidwell was the first NASCAR driver to have a personal mascot; ["Little Willie" Leonard] an African American whom he befriended inspite of the racial prejudices that existed during the time. Little Willie travelled the racing circuit with Tidwell and danced in front of the grandstands for the crowd. Everyone who knew Tidwell knew 'Little Willie' Leonard.
"The Flying B", as he was called by his opponents, raced with such greats as the Flock brothers, Lee Petty, Buck Baker, Junior Johnson, Fireball Roberts, and Nero Steptoe (aka "The Wild Indian). Tidwell lost his hearing during his racing career and was likely the first totally deaf racecar driver.
