She was a brave woman and had a lot of courage. I like her comment "That's life, you don't always get what you want." Although it's nothing profound, it sure holds true.

Preparing the Mason's Garage 37 Chevy tribute for the 2012 Bell & Bell Vintage Modified Racing Season
Vintage Oval and Road Course Racing
It's been a long winter but, what comes with cold damp days out doors results in reworking, refreshing and modifying a race car for the next season in doors. Here's the Mason's Garage 1937 Chevy tribute dirt car at an idol lubricating the valves and pistons, readying for the up coming season at Carolina Speedway, Lake View, S.C. and the Bell & Bell Vintage Modified Racing Series.

Jeff, Instead of just a Dirt Track page how about broaden it to say Local Short Tracks Racing History or just Short Tracks Racing History, News, and Discussion. I'd be willing go over to the dark side in order to avoid all the NASCAR chatter on the main page.
Unless all these young people that are flooding in are living under social welfare and don't work I can't imagine them having all this time to spend on RacersReunion unless they are die-hard racing buffs like Cody Da` Man Dinsmore. I would love to engage with the youth but I know all too well that the young don't have time to engage with me, it ain't happening. I use to go to these Airborne Reunions when I was in the 82nd and all these old timers from WWII to Vietnam would be there dying to tell you a story. I would listen with respect and show them all the dignity they deserved but when that dinner was over and we were free to go out on the town I wasn't hanging with them no more and would leave my heroes to talk amongst themselves and tell their stories. Besides, they tired easily. Here's my point; this site is so unique because it's tailored for those of us that have lived a a long colorful life and now would like to relive it with people that are like US. Why else would you engage on here unless you enjoyed their company? But with the main forum clouded up with current NASCAR stories I'm no longer feeling the "US" effect, not feeling the love and I'm not alone. Bottom line, we so-called old timers need a place to hang out and tell our stories and don't feel we are wasting our time. I'd like to add a discussion on the main page but what's the use, it get lost in the shuffle and I don't have that much time to write since I'm still working 8-12 hours a day, some nights, and some weekends. I don't have all this freedom to sit in front computer or television and keep up with all of NASCAR's latest drama. Jeff, if you just changed the dirt page to a Local Short Track Racing History, News, and Discussion we would be happy, that's if enough folks would come over. I think many are stuck on the main page and don't know how to navigate away.
Thunder Over Daytona - Looking for Toyota Prez Driving Laps?

As a kid my father, a WWII B-25 bomber pilot would take us to every air show around, I grew up around these magnificent birds and could name them all by age 7. One really gets an appreciation for the these planes when seen in person, those big engines huffing and puffing to life, blowing blue smoke out of the headers, it's a sight every kid should see. Even yesterday as I was tuning up my `37 Chevy, the sound of the straight pipes always reminds me of an old war bird parked on the apron warming her engines before take off. Recently i was travelling through NC to VA and come across this B-25 sitting idol. Come to find out it was owned by the same gent that loaned all those B-25's for the movie Catch-22. Awesome medium range bomber. Salute!

There's something about a car hauler, there's a romance there. This one is superb!

After the crash the jet dryer driver got on the radio and said "NASCAR, we have a Pablom"
New owners have big plans for Myrtle Beach Speedway
General
I like the way they're thinking, putting the fans first, after all, who pays the light bills. I challenge everyone that visits Myrtle Beach this year go see a race and bring the kids, we need to introduce racing back into the youth of today and get them interested, involved, and engaged in local racing again. After all, they are our future drivers, fans, and hopefully owners of cars and tracks. Keep up the good work Myrtle Beach Speedway, you have my support.
Did Mike Wallace Intentionally Wreck NASCAR's 1st Female Pole Setter? Yes, Said Joe Nemechek
General
Shawna's career in the Busch Series wasn't exactly stellar, her best finish was 10th at Watkins Glenn and two oval 11th place finishes, at Michigan and Volusia County, so to say Mike Wallace intentionally wrecked Shawna might be stretching it. There was no contact, nothing that hadn't happened without incident 200 times before, I just think she lost it and it wasn't due to experience, she had been racing for 6 years in the Dash, Busch North and Busch Grand Nationals. Joe was just PO'd for getting taken out, he wouldn't have given it a second thought had he made it out OK.
Sometimes folks are looking for an escape goat when things go wrong. Nothing against Shawna, she's come a long way but, I think Mike saw a hole and stuck it down low without losing it, give him some credit for driving it in so hard. That's racing. Oh, check out minutes 28 and watch the segment with Benny and Andy Hillenburg, pretty funny stuff.
