Snubbed Again in NC - What's Missing?


Stock Car Racing History

Good food and some of the coldest beer I ever had. It is a pictorial museum in its self. I was there during the week a few years back and enjoyed the laid back small town . I look forward to going back sometime during the moonshine fest.

Snubbed Again in NC - What's Missing?


Stock Car Racing History

In all fairness other than this vote for all greatest moment in history deal. In 1997 when Charlie Harville was inducted into the hall of fame they ask Danny "Chocolate" Myers and myself to sit in on the question and answer session when the news media ask about racing with questions coming from media and former inductees. They knew little about racing and had a lot of good questions and it lasted about an hour. But after going through there induction list which is 272 including this years inductees the following men are inducted into the NCSHOF. 1963 Lee Petty,1973, Richard Petty,1990 Ned Jarrett,1992 Buck Baker,Jr. Johnson, Herb Thomas, 1994 Dale Earnhardt, 1997 Charlie Harville, 2004 Humpy Wheeler, 2008 Richard Childress, 2011 Dale Jarrett, that is 11 out of 272 so like I said it's politics as usual. But I'm glad that they have inducted these men and is well deserved however the balance could be a little better. Thanks Dave for posting this on RR.

Host Hotel for Love Chevrolet Columbia Speedway Festival and RacersReunion


General

Hotels ? what ever happened to the days when you had a camp fire and sleeped in the car and had pork and beans for supper and if you were really prepared you had a frying pan and someone else had some bacon and someone else had some eggs and bread and jelly ans so on and so on. It turned out to be a trackside buffet.Lots of memories of days gone by...But in todays real world I guess I stay at the Hotel.
