A Best Seller Awaiting a Writer

Many times the comments I make on this site are more or less "tongue-in-cheek", often in hopes of a laugh or two or perhaps to inspire someone to post a response that will further the topic of discussion. But this post is totally, completely in earnest.

There is, within this site, a book awaiting a writer. "The Adventures of Dave Fulton" would surely be a best seller in racing circles. His recollections and stories I've heard are more entertaining than ANYTHING NASCAR has done in years and beats the devil out of most of the books out there alleging to be about racing.

And, if Dave is not enough to satisfy the hunger for race fans for the true spirit of the sport, there is Bill Blair, Jr. just waiting to have his life chronicaled. And Billy Biscoe. And Dennis Andrews. So many others as well. Maybe, what we need to do here is have someone work with each of these fellows to get the gist of their stories and publish them here on RacersReunion. We must not, cannot, let this legacy disappear.

Opinions, anyone?

Honor the past, embrace the present, dream for the future.

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.

Yes, I was up late Dave. Actually, for some reason, I had gone to bed, couldn' sleep and this idea crept into my head. We truly need to put your life in print Dave Fulton. The memories you have of your personal involvement in the sport are priceless.
