Last nite I heard that John Banks is going into a side business at MGR.
Talk has it that he is hauling a still down to MGR, can you imagine that? Last report was Tim Leeming had one in his back yard. All this new racing news about the old days have things going (back to the future) Style. Jeff was hanging out at the local Winery in Byron last nite so things are going to be great this weekend.
A bunch of old --or should I say seasoned drivers will be on hand to tell their own version of a race or two. You get Skinner and Duck talking you may have an award winning movie in the making,especially if Bob Moore and Charlie Burnette chime in. Dont leave out Francis Sullivan either because he has a couple of versions he can tell too.
Tommie Clinard will be on hand with his beauty Queen he snagged way down in Palm Beach a couple years ago.
Bobby Allison is known to tell a version or two of some of the old --Good Ole Days too.
Only thing I hope dont show up are those streakers on the hill across the street because it was sure a sight to see one time but not two.
The good times we had there are something that will never be forgotten. If you get around the bunch when they get wound up you will truly enjoy it.
Tim Thornton used to hang out in the trees and on the hill around the track watching some of the best, Now he owns the place. Without him none of this would be possible. And his two side kicks, Bunny and Larry went the full mile to make it happen.
That first day when we all met in Byron and I took Jeff and Tim Leeming out to see the track I saw a real twinkle in Jeffs eyes and Tim now has the feeling I have about the ole gal.
Afterwards we met with Bob Moore and the bunch and the race was formed. We went back to the track and relived a few important races. Bob told an interesting tale on a wreck and that driver that is supposed to be there.
Racing in Middle Ga has always had a strong following, from Camp Wheeler Drag Strip to the short tracks and MGR to the Super Speedway in Atlanta.
I imagine there will be quite a few batteries run down over the course of the festivities so come prepared. I hope to see each and every one of you at the Greatest Reunion held yet at Middle Ga Raceway. You are coming arent you??? Tell us you are coming by replying to this --------------------ok??!!!
