HI,
Just to let you know the video on your website and Youtube is of me. I wrecked my racecar at Middle GA Raceway on April 29th 1977 it broke both of my legs (femar bones) and my left arm. What Johnny says is true it took 45 minuets to cut me out of the car. I have pictures of the wreck as well as scars. What you do not know is that I proposed to my wife of 33 years on that night we got married on July 23rd 1977 and our daughter was born on Aug 31, 1979. She has posted with her husband on youtube. I will be happy to send you copies of the wrecked car. And I believe that the photo person at the track that night took pictures as will. It was quite a shock to see this on your website as most folks would not have known anything about this.


If there is a reuion at Middle GA I would love to come.

Sonny, I stood on the track in MGR where you wrecked and listened to that entire story as told by Bob Moore who helped get you out of the car. How awesome it is to have you on the site now! Yes, there is a reunion planned at MGR in March, but I'm not sure of the dates. Watch the website and keep up that way. Also, if you're interested, we have a live radio show on the website on Tuesday nights and I would really love to have you as a guest by telephone. Do you think you're up for that? Let me know and I'll set it up. Great to have you here. Enjoy, visit often, and please tell your friends all about Racers Reunion.Tim

Thanks, Sonny. I'll be in touch. The show is from 7:00 until 9:00 on Tuesday nights, live. My "Meet a Member:" segment is usually on between 7:45 and 8:00 or a little after, depending upon the things happening before that. I have a guest for this Tuesday but I would love to have you the following Tuesday if we can work it out. Thanks, Sonny.
