AmeriCarna noun (ah-mer-i-kar-nah)
The history of cool car stuff in America.
AmeriCarna is a car culture television show hosted by Ray Evernham with guidance from his friend and mentor, Rick Hendrick, simply known as Mr. H. Theyll rely on their vast experience as car guys to take viewers back in time and introduce them to a period of history when the automobile heavily influenced American culture. Theyll tell behind-the-scenes stories of lost racecars, barn finds, speed secrets, Hollywood films, historical racetracks and other unique places. Along the way, well meet the cars and characters that have helped shape and preserve this history; from Appalachian Moonshiners that helped build NASCAR, to the West Coast Hot Rodders and Woody Wagon surfers that defined California Cool. Its an all-access pass into Americas garage.

DAVE,
I CONSIDER ROY HENDRICK MY FRIEND.
CLASSMATES AT SAME (OLD) MANCHESTER HIGH SCHOOL LOCATED ON HULL ST. RD ACROSS FROM 360 WEST SHOPPING CENTER. LOL
DENNY HAMLIN WENT TO THE (NEW) MANCHESTER HIGH SCHOOL.LOL
ROY HAS DONE AUTO WORKED MY TRUCK AND MY MOTHER VAN

ONE DAY ROY TOLD ME I NEEDED TIRES MENTION THAT HIS DADDY (RAY) WAS A "FIRESTONE MAN, HE DIDN'T LIKE GOODYEAR RACE TIRES".

THE "FIRESTONE" TIRES ON MY BLACK CHEVY TRUCK CAME FROM ROY HENDRICK MUFFLER SHOP ON HULL ST RD.
ENJOYED THEM VERY MUCH

.
WWW.FLYING11.COM
IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST RACING WEBSITE ON THE INTERNET.
I SUBMITTED IT AND IT WON THE "MILLER LITE RACING PERSONALITY OF THE WEEK AWARD" AWARDED BY "LET'S TALK RACING WITH JOE AND RUTH KELLY" WARV 100.3 FM RADIO, IN RICHMOND,VA.

WWW.FLYING11.COM
I KNOW WHO BUILD IT, MAINTAINED IT, AND DESTROYED IT !!
IT COST "TO TOO MUCH MONEY" TO MAINTAIN IT "FOR THE FUTURE RACE FANS" !!
I, ALSO KNOW WHO GOT SOME THE OLD PHOTOS AND OLD RACE ARTICLES WHICH HAS "HAND STAMPED IN INK" WORDS PRINTED ALL OVER THEM.

DAVE,
I HAVE NEVER "HAND STAMPED IN INK" RACE PHOTOS OR RACE ARTICLES WITH "DENNIS GARRETT" OR "COLLECTION OF DENNIS GARRETT", OR "PROPERTY OF DENNIS GARRETT" ACROSS THEM.
I THINK AN ORIGINAL OLD RACE ARTICLE OR OLD RACE PHOTO SHOULDN'T HAVE THIS CRAP ON IT.
HAVE YOU EVER ENLARGED AN OLD RACE ARTICLE OR PHOTO WITH "HAND STAMPED IN RED INK" WORDS ACROSS IT?
"IT LOOKS LIKED SOMEONE LOST ALOT OF RED STUFF"? LOL

I WISHED THE WWW.FLYING11.COM WOULD COME BACK IN IT'S ORIGINAL CONDITION WITH THE ORIGINAL OLD RACE ARTICLES AND ORIGINAL OLD RACE PHOTOS "FOR THE FUTURE RACE FANS"!!

Ray Hendrick, early Modified

Stock Car Racing History

There's my reason for this post!.. Might anyone have,..or know of a picture of Ray Hendricks modified (1960's) that shows this "rocket man" on the trunk?!

THERE WAS AN WWW.FLYING11.COM WEBSITE THAT DISAPPEARED FROM THE INTERNET?

IT HAD PHYLLIS HENDRICK'S OLD SCRAPBOOK OF OLD RACE CAR PHOTOS, OLD RACE ARTICLES ON RAY AND ROY HENDRICK RACING.

MAYBE THIS OLD WEBSITE HAD THE PHOTO OF "ROCKET MAN" ON THE TRUNK.

SOMEONE TOLD ME IT MIGHT BE THIS PHOTO OF "Flying 11 red race car sponsor by Ralph Mills Wheel Alignment" HAD THE "ROCKET MAN" PAINTED ON THE TRUNK. ?

Thanks for any information or photos posted.
