Sad news! I remember Buck coming to Kingsport Speedway...guess it was int he late 60's seems like it was a gold #41 ford farlane...66 or 67. Then I remember him running in a late model wedge car there in Robert Smalley's NDRA. One heck of a racer. Always put on a great show.
I was going to reply, but I don't think I can addanythingto this, TMC. I agree with you 100%.
That comment from him...in a nutshell (in my opinion) defines the cause of the problems they face.
What a fantastic thread!! David, thanks for sharing. sometimes I'm amazed at the history one post can reveal.
There is supposed to be a picture of Elvis and Stick on the National Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame website. Good luck finding it...they do not have a search feature. Would love to help them with their website if anybody has a connection.

Mark,
I didn't notice if you had joined the Stick Elliot fan club. Would also be a good idea to post there. Those members will get a direct notification of your question. Here is the link.

There is a comment on there about Elvis: Here is a piece of it...
(Stick) Was a stunt driver during the filming of the Elvis Pressley movie ' Speedway',
Stick took The King around CMS for 2 laps, then Elvis wanted to go faster,
and Stick just happened to spin the big Pontiac Bonneville down through the grass
much to the delight of the photographers, then drove over to pit road where
Elvis removed himself from the car to go and change his pants.
( The photos of this 'incident' are in the NDLMHOF )
Mark,
This is the correct place for the post...should get some response. Thanks very uch for posting.

What's a man got to do to get a little peace and quite? Can't even go hang with the gang without the dangpaparazzinosing around.
Are you talking about Ruby...? The resemblance comment is what I'm referring to.
I'll close the discussion, now. Nothing can be accomplished with this type of exchange.
We're sorry you feel insulted, Patrick. We do support your "type" of racing and wish you well.
