Tim, I just dont know about Dave. Surely he recognizes you as being "FAMOUS". Maybe a little heart to heart talk with him might be helpful, otherwise sic Dangerous Devin on him. He just needs to recognize you for who you are in the pecking order. Take care.
Oh Dave, I forgot to mention you have the "Legend's" autograph too to go along with the rest of the drivers names.
Dave, we really missed you being with us. My thoughts and prayers are with you and hope all goes well with you. Take care.
Sad situation for everybody. I watched the video and my reaction was you dont get out of the car like that, it is a dirt track with not too good lighting, and he was wearing a black or dark racing uniform. I would think Mr Ward was partially responsible for those stated reasons. Im not trying to put the blame on him but he could have taken more precautions. I understand he was probably upset and it is hard to keep your cool but I think it could have been prevented. Again so sorry for the situation, My Thoughts and Prayers to all involved.
Dave, Dave, So great to hear you back on the site. Thoughts and prayers have been with you every since we learned of your problems. Sounds like you are coming along good, just dont over do it. Maybe you can keep Tim straight now, he said he needed a bigger SIGN. Take care my friend. Want to hear more of your stories.
Thanks for the update Tim, Dave I keep hoping everything goes well for you. You are definitely missed on Tuesday nights. Always enjoy your stories and comments. Take care and we will be keeping you in our prayers.
Dave, I talked with Tim at J B Days Sunday. Werent sure when you were going in. Hope everything goes well. Take care brother.
Tim, Im sure glad Devin can do all this with photos. I know very little about the computer. I have learned somethings as I go along. She does a great job. As for sharing the photos I just figured maybe I could contribute something to the site. I thoroughly enjoy the site. I will be seeing you and Patrick tonight at 7:00. Take care.
Dave, I have lots of fun around some of the tracks, especially the small tracks. The collection of pictures come from Martinsville, North Wilksboro, Darlington, the Mecca of stock cars before they changed it around. Also went to Dawsonville in 83 for Bill Elliott Day. Have been to Lanier when it was dirt and then later when it was paved. Made that a weekend trip to Lanier and then back up the road the next day for a sprint car race at I-85 Speedway at Greer S.C. which was rained out. Martinsville was another daily double, practice at Martinsville on Saturday afternoon and a USAC sprint car race at 311 Speedway in Madison, N.C. Darlington still had the covered grandstand and the old press box before it was all changed around. Just to walk up on that track and just think about all the history. I started all this with the old dirt tracks around home. There was plenty back in the day, Rock Hill Fairgrounds, Gastonia Fairgrounds, Robinwood in Gastonia, Lancaster Speedway, York-Clover Speedway, even a trip or to Starlite in Monroe. Sadly, most are all gone now. Went in the Air Force and was stationed in the Southwest, got introduced to open wheel sprint cars after growing up in stock car country. Was able to see some great racing, Manzanita Speedway in Phoenix, Arizona comes to mind, great race track no longer with us. I guess I have been at this since about age 13/14 and am 65 years young now. Since Tim got me hooked on this R/R I have been able to meet some of the drivers that I use to hear about on the radioand also some of the great individuals like you and Randy and a whole bunch more, have to include Gene Hobby also, went to Hillsborough last year and will be going back good Lord willing. You know it gets in your blood and for me it has seeped over into all forms of motorsports.
Tim, you and Dave have hit it right on the nail head. These socalled promoters are ruining the short track arenas.
