GOT A QUESTION TO ASK THE MEMBERS ON RACERS REUNION
Stock Car Racing History
Thanks a lot. Great days for sure.
Thanks a lot. Great days for sure.
Thanks a lot because I get nostalgic over closed tracks and military bases I have been to.
In the mid-80s my brother who was Navy and I went to Wall Stadium quite often and saw the likes of Gil Hearne, John Blewitt Jr, Tony Siscone, Tom Mauser, Ryan and Barney Truex and many more. One Saturday afternoon Ray Evernham was driving his Modified and got black-flagged for rough driving. Ray then spun his car out near the flag stand, got and argued with the flagman and then walked off and the Modified is still is running. Siscone jumped in and won the race.
I am working on a site on word press to get the word out about this site. As far as memories I remember visiting a friend in WI and on the way back to the Air Force Base in Little Rock, I saw a track called HALES CORNER SPEEDWAY.
They were running a big one hundred lapper. They had their time trials but I was sick and had to go to a motel room but the track had a LM with the #1 USA number. Sadly that track is gone.
I am just so sorry to hear this. Nothing like losing a race driver or family member. God speed to the family and friends of Jon. I am from upstate NY myself.
Same here my prayers are especially warm to fellow racers and supporters.
