Madhouse


General

This is Allen McKnight: I have been going to the Stadium since 1949. I have always supported the Myers. Burt and Jason are the 3rd generation of Myers I support and hope that I live long enough to support a fourth. The last race that I seen Bobby Myers run at BGS he was driving Tim Browns grandfathers car (Eb Clifton). He broke an axle leading the race and "Toot" Jenkins went on to win the race so you see my roots go deep with the Myers. My dad stood with Bobby and Billy and faught at tracks from Trenton NJ to deep into FL.I love BGS as much today as I did when I seen it for the first time as a little boy, I had rather win a race at BG than at any of the tracks in the US.Thank youAllen McKnight

Bobby I am personally inviting you to come to Winston-Salem and go with Allen and me to see a race at BG. Yes there are plenty of "rednecks' and plenty of rough driving and rough drivers, but I think you will be amazed at the loality the fans have for this track. You know the history of Bobby Myers and I think you will get a better understanding of where he and other ledgends came from. I go to work and have people come up to me and ask about the races I run and when are we coming to BG. It is a way of life for many people in this area. Not everything is the way you seen it on TV. I ran there for a season a few years ago, and trust me I never acted the way you seen on TV and for the most part neither did the other drivers, of course you always have a few bad apples. The nights I am not racing I will more than likley be at the "Stadium" watching Burt and Jason. Randy is right, everyone get out and support you local "madhouse" even though it may not be as mad as BG.

I have been going to BG on and off agiain for almost 40 years, Allen has been going for almost 50, the sad thing is that is really the way BG is. Everything you are seeing is real. I have never been a big fan of the way things are run over there but that is what keeps the stands packed. As long as the can keep bringing in 15,000 people every Sat. night things will not change. After every race there it is routine that the cops go to the pits because more than likely there is going to be a fight, and the fans love it. It is all about the money. It is a really great track to drive. I just hate that the History Channel is puting it out there for the whole world to see.

East Coast Flatheads thank everyone at the Rock


General

On behalf of the ECFFRA I want to send a BIG thank you to Jeff Gilder, Andy Hillenburg, and all of the staff at Rockingham Motor Speedway for having us down for the Polar Bear 150. Even though the temp. was not the very best for all of us, it was a fantastic day. I really enjoyed seeing everyone and meeting many new folks. This is what we love to do, get out and let everyone see these awesome vintage racing machines. These cars were built to get out and be a part of these shows, not just to come out on race day. Rockingham is an awesome track and it is an honor to get to make laps there. I hope everyone will keep in touch in 2010 and we can plan other events. Great job Jeff on everything you do.

Hey Jeff Let me get with my dad on this one and we will get back to you , Right now it is the policy of the ECFF to only run for a trophy. Also we could more than likely get 10 cars of ours to show up. I will get back to you ASAP.Again thank you for having us at the Polar Bear 150. We had an awesome time.

women of the future??--maybe!!


Current NASCAR

Ok Jim beat me to the draw. As a mater of fact I did know that it was Tim Flock. I didn't know first hand just from hearing stories. Jeff Gilder said:
Lol...Jim.
Jim Streeter said:
Tim Flock had one.
It vomited in his car at Raleigh Speedway.
It was a mess.

OK we can tell its the off season for us. We have too much time on our hands to sit and think about things like this. We are all in on the same page as far as Danica goes. Yes she can drive a go-cart on steriods, but you all should know when she gets to Daytona or where ever she is going to run her first race she is going to have the best of equiptment and I am sure that Kelly is going to have her in a stock car at every race track that she can for practice, ( Now Kelly Earnhardt-theres a driver). Anyway Na$car would not be making such a big hipe over this if Danica was going to be set up to fail. No she has not paid her dues the way all of us other female drivers have, but that is just the way Na$car is now. I am just not going to waste my time and money watching to see if she is going to succed or fail, I have my own car to worry about and next season to focus on. That is where the racing is going to be. We need to be spredding the word about great drivers on the short tracks, whether they be man, woman or monkey.
