Pass the crawfish and hot sauce!!!
When we drove from Dallas to Daytona in 1984, it was at Shreveport that we began to traverse the State of Louisana in a cattycornered fashion on a two-lane road down through Alexandria until we got to Billy Hagan country in LaFayette, Louisana and picked up I-10 towards Florida!
Nah, at Wilson they all ran Wolf's Head, not Lion Head!
Wilson was drawing strong fields to its weekly Saturday night Sportsman features in 1959 as evidenced by this Associated Press clip in the Charleston (SC) News & Courier recapping the Saturday night, May 23rd, 1959 Wilson 25-lap Sportsman feature won by Banjo Matthews over Dink Widenhouse .
How about George Dunn, Jr. of Raleigh continuing for a 6th place finish after his spectacular crash?
I was at Wilson in the 70s when Larry Curry of Knightdale, NC clipped the top of the turn three light pole with his 1955 Chevy Limited Sportsman and landed out beside U.S. Highway 301. I wouldn't be surprised if our RR members Charles Ray Stocks, Tim Hamm and Eugene Bruce West weren't also at that Saturday night Wilson race. The photo below of Larry's #55 was taken by Tim Hamm at Wilson in 1974.
August 26th fell on a Saturday in both 1961 and 1967, take your pick. I moved to Wilson in 1970 and there was no modified racing there by that time, only late models.
I believe I have heard of that establishment!
Goodness, Bobby. Had never heard that, but thank you for sharing.
I bet with all the influence weilded by RR, we could promote a ride for Legend in the #10 with GoGirl. What do you folks out their in RR land think? Should we lobby for Danica to give Legend a lift?
Gave up my beloved beer in 1999, but if I ever started back my wife would make me do the low cal if she didn't leave me first!
