#12 Chevy Nova, Tommy Elllis was sponsored by local TV Channel 12 Scene Tonight.About this time, hegot the nick-name "Terrible Tommy", for his bad temper, hard racing, and his fighting before, during, and after the Friday night race. The local newspapers Richmond Times Dispatch, Richmond News Leaderand local TV stations: TV6, TV8 and TV12 sports reporters would report about "Terrible Tommy" Elliswinning races or being in fights at Southside Speedway. Man that was the good old days. LOL:)#83 Pontiac, Bubba Tatum - his race cars had the best paint job at Southside Speedway.Did Bubba Tatum had a racing nick -name?

Bubba was my dads nickname, Allen Thomas was his given name. You are correct about the paint jobs as car owner Tommy Nolan kept really sharp looking cars.
