With mixed feelings I have retired the long-time default member profile of Barney Fife wearing a RacersReunion early era racing helmet. The purpose of that default profile image was to entice new members to hate it so much they would load up an image of themselves. Ask me how that worked...not too good. The new default image is below.

Well if Billy and I are retired where do we apply for our pensions. Myrtle Beach or Daytona ?

Opp's sorry bossman .I reread your post and instead of our pension where do we collect our big fat checks each month. I do often write before I think about what I am reading. Your humble servant....

It was about time for Ole Barney to retire. I really, really like the new default image. It is so cute some might actually prefer it to their own profile pics! :)

I dunno. No Chevrolet ever had a grille like that. Definitely a '48 Ford.

Nice new selection, Jeff. However, as Barney would have said, you should have "nipped it in the bud" as to the old picture.

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.

Jeff,I always wondered why you chose oleBarney. Your line of thinking was spot on for me. The first time I saw that picture beside my profile I knew one of two things, either they want my picture or they want me gone. I know I am a little crazy but I am notCrazy enough to impersonate Barney Fife for long.New one looks nice though, good job

Flagman Mike Sykes: What color was his outfit?? (cap,shirt,jacket,pant,shoes) white color??
No black & white striped jacket or shirt??

Race driver Billy Biscoe: Was Billy Biscoe the racecar owner??
What was the racecar # and sponsor??
Is it '48 Chevrolet or Ford??
Race track location and year of race win??

Do you have a race photo of above race win??

Thank you very much for any information or photos given.
