I was the Dirt Dobber. That name was hung onme by Freddy Fryer, because we raced 2 nights a week on dirt and 2 nights on pavement. My fire suit always had dirt stains on it.
Oh ya'll do remember that we all just had one fire suit back in the day or none at all.......

Wow great responce. Now that Patty and Dave went across the pond we have opened up a whole new world. I wish I could add a comment to the greats from the other side but in my limited world I have not kept up with those racers.
One thing I have noticed from all who weighed in on my question is that Darrell Waltrip's name has not come up. In spite of his mouth the boy could drive, he may not fit into any of our top ten list, but in his day he could get the job done. I race the old NASCAR LMS division aginist him for many years, did not like him but he could drive. Mike Ashley

This could very well be Huntsville. The flag stand and guard rail look right. With out being able to see the press box that sat in the middle of the bleachers, (bleachers were concrete just like the picture), I say lets go with this is Huntsville Alabama.
Thanks, Mike

I love it...Keep up the education classes for me....I don't remember Ray ever coming into Alabama and getting a win. Things were pretty tuff in Birmingham, Huntsville and Montgomery.
Did Ray ever run the Snowball Derby?
He is one of my all time favorites....Mike Ashley

Mike do you think Bobby Allison and Jr Johnson could have set records if they could have stayed together?

Boy it is a shame we don't live closer together. You would enjoy and add a bunch to the sessions. You would need to like rib eye steaks with baked taters or a rack of BBQ ribs with iced tea or beverages with twist off caps. Most evenings the stuff gets real deep.
