The Goat Herders are Heading For Daytona

Thanks, Dargan! I was 17 the last (and only) time I was in Daytona forspeedweeks.... slept in a sleeping bag in the parking lotof the 4th turn at the speedway, it was GREAT!! Never thought it would take 41 years to get back! (life happens) It was 1971, the final race of the winged Dodge Daytona, Maynard Troyer flipped umpteen times in turn two, and Richard Petty won the race after a race-long battle with AJ and the Wood Bros. But, to be returning, with a vintage coupe, and to participate in a historic rendition of the famed beach-road course is more than I could ever imagined. Thanks to everyone involved for making this happen!

Fellow Bell & Bell member, Bill Tripp, is also making the trip to Daytona and is bring the 1933 (former Bill Morton) #1 Chevy coupe.

Great news Bopper, Hope to see you again.

Mr. W. C. Bell and Harold Floyd (Bell & Bell Buick/GMC) are both attending with their vintage cars!

Hey...its gonna be a convoy!! When are y'all leaving? I just might follow.

Mid-day Friday, Feb. 15th.

I'll either be with you or just a couple of hours ahead.

Great news Bobby...I knew these others wouldn't let you get the best of them. Did you tell them that there will be no racing on the beach?

We'll see you next week.

Dargan, I didn't mention that part! There's a good possibility of a couple more race cars joining our convoy!

It'sexactly likeback in the day......race cars travelling from the Carolina's to the beach.

Sherman "the Shermanator" Garriswill be in the field too!

I am so happy that, "The Bell & Bell Vintage Modified Racing Series" in addition to "RacersReunion" will be represented!! Have a wonderful time...lots of pics and video...please!!!
