Recent "Legend" losses.......

Recently two local Ohio auto racing legends have passed away. Everyone knew these two guys - Chick Hale, legendary driver, and Bobby Korn, legendary car builder. The racing community is poorer, with their loss.

Attached are a couple of photos - Chick Hale driving his dirt car on the asphalt banks of Dayton Speedway, and Dick Freeman driving Korn's Malco Torch, also on the Dayton hills.

For some very good articles and lots morre photos of these two giants, go to the Dayton Speedway Lives ! web site. Rest in peace, guys......

The passing of anyone leaves a void in that person's family. These two racers have left a void in our family of racers and fans. God's blessings upon the families of each.

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.

I helped Bobby on his cars with Kenny Stookey and Bill Chambers . He was always fun to be around ,but he expected you to get the jpb done. He taught me a lot about set-ups that I will never forget . Thanks Bobby. R.I.P. my Friend.
