Are Y'all Familiar With These Parts?


Trivia

I have just learned (via the Upcoming Events section of the Charlotte paper) that tomorrow, Saturday, January 12th, is HOG BUTCHERING DAY at Historic Brattonsville in McConnells, South Carolina.

Admission is $6 - $5 for Seniors and $3 for kids 4-17.

Witness the time-honored process of butchering and preserving the meat, and learn why pork was so important for the survival of early settlers. Period butchering, preservation, cooking demonstrations and soap making will occur throughout the day; barbecue lunch will be available beginning at 11:30a.m.

Years before Herman "The Turtle" Beam, there was a racer of sizable girth in the Richmond area in the late 40s and early 50s known as "The Whale" - also noted for many last place finishes.

He is referenced in the 1951 Crazy Joe Maphis song "Racing at Royall Speedway" (today's Southside Speedway ) in the line that includes the words "The Whale should have stayed at home!"

And, by golly, I guess we all remember the Wood Brothers Cup car being sponsored by Tennessee's Little Debbies, but do you remember this Tennessee sponsor on "Terrible" Tommy Ellis' Busch car?

Yessir, I remember dangling Chicken legs on a string in the Chesapeake down in Tidewater, Va. to catch crabs and watching the construction of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. We always had Chesapeke Bay Blue Crab, Rappahannock River Oysters, Smithfield Ham and a Turkey for Christmas dinner.

Posted on a New York radio station website:

After spending time in Central Pennsylvania, the ball drop in New York City seems kind of boring! How can you beat the dropping of a stuffed goat in Falmouth, PA or even an Indy car in Carlisle, PA?

You'd need some wine to get down that Lexington-style BBQ over by Childress' - all slathered in tomato sauce. YUK.

Yep, that is low. Here's a winning pig part car - the Carlton Lamm owned Chevelle driven by Dennis Smith and sponsored by Carlton's old Barbecue Barn Restaurant that won the 1974 Southern Late Model 200 at Wilson County Speedway. That was a "whole hog" bbq car!
