Tim sounds just like the old modified races on dirt back in the 50's and 60's!

IN MY OPINION, THE BEST MODIFIED DRIVER EVER! WOULD GO THROUGH RACE TRAFFIC LIKE THREADING A NEEDLE WHERE OTHER DRIVERS WOULD NOT DARE TO GO THROUGH A VERY SMALL OPENING ON THE TRACK.

Dave I remember seeing Al race at Brunswick Speedway in Lawrenceville, VA 1958 on the 1/4 mile dirt track. He was driving a Ford Modified coupe number 9 from South Boston, VA with 8 Fish carburetors and later told me that he almost ran out of fuel in 25 laps before he won the race. Eddie Crouse driving Jack Tant's Chevrolet coupe number 11 would win there every Friday night but finished second to Al that night. Those were the good old days, Butch Torrie drove my father's DeSOTO powered Plymouth coupe car number 37 and raced with Al many times at different tracks, he also had many wins at Lawrenceville, Petersburg and South Boston sometimes winning three weekends in a row.

I don't remember that particular incident but I do have a very good memory about things that happened back then.40 years ago! Some things that I remember from back then I can't write here on RR.
My brother and I always signed on a race car and went in the pits back in the day and it was "Hog Heaven" to us.
At a Grand National race in Rockingham, NC, I was standing around in the pits just enjoying being there at the track and Cecil's brother Lee Gordon who was his crew chief ask me if I would help with the fuel cans and after that I worked with them for about two years at the race tracks within a 500 mile radius from home in VA.

Rest in peace Cecil, what a great person and driver back in the day when racing was real and lots of fun. I worked on Cecil's pit crew helping the gas man 1972 and 1973. I talked with him for the last time about two years ago by telephone on the Racers Reunion radio show interview.
