Had a call last night from a man wanting to know about his dad who had passed away when he was young. He had seen the front page article in the Augusta Hearald to get my phone number. I start to search on the net to no avail. So I started looking through my own resources and found a short article in a 1963 NASCAR newsletter which I put on RR as a photo. His dad, Bill Meade was the 1962 Georgia State NASCAR Hobby champ and had made every race since the Augusta since the 1/2 opened til right before his death. The night before he died Dan Lay drove to a third place finish in his car. .We will have a happy man at this weekends event and his dads trophy to show for it.

I was up to midnight and it was so exciting to learn about his dad.My first car , a 1949 Plymouth , I put a tach in and I think it was out of his dad's car. Johnny Mallonee said:
