Dave, When you traveled from Siler City to Ramseur along Hwy 64 you went from Chatham county into Randolph county. The Randolph county line is 5 miles west of Siler City. One mile before the county line on the left you pasted a cender block building that had been my grandfathers gas station for years but was by then my dad's shop. First a muffler shop and then Wayne's Alignment. The old shop was taken when they 4 laned 64 and dad had to build another shop that still stands just a 1/4 mile from the county line.

Dave,
1967 was the record breaking year for James Sears.
James Sears driving the Harold Carmac owned and prepared 36 Chevy Modified #29 had a record setting year on the way to the Independent Racing Association 1967 Modified points Championship. James began his first streak at Sanford Motor Speedway on April 14 th that continued thru June 23 rd at Sanford. The run was stopped at 20 wins in a row at Rockingham on June 24 th by a broken resistor wire. The next streak began on June 30 th at Sanford and would be 8 races long ending on July 15 th at Rockingham with a 2 nd place finish. James would have another 2 nd place finish on July 21 st at Sanford. A streak of 10 in a row began at Rockingham on July 22 nd that lasted thru the first part of a 50 lapper at Sanford on Sept. 1 st . After an inverted start James came from the rear to finish 2 nd in the last 25 laps as the engine in the coach began to falter. On Sept. 2 nd James drove the #49 Ford coach of Joe Wright to a 5 th place finish at Rockingham while a new engine was being prepared by Carmac for the #29. Sept. 8 th at Sanford brought victory #39 for the year and started a run of 3 in a row thru Sept. 16 th at Rockingham. A flat tire at Sanford on Sept. 22 nd lead to a 4 th place finish in the first half and a win in the second half of twin 20 lappers at Rockingham on Sept. 23 rd . James capped the 1967 season with a win in a 40 lap feature at Sanford on Sept. 30 th to give him a record of 43 wins in 50 races.
James and Harold finished the year at the newly opened Caraway Speedway in Asheboro by winning the first and second modified races there on Oct. 1 st and 8 th . They finished out the year with a 4 th place finish on the 15 th to earn them a record of 45 wins in 53 races.

Chase, I have looked at this picture several times and every time I do Patsy K. Thompson's name comes to mind. Look close and the eyes and mouth, sure looks like Patsy to me. Now I know this is not Patsy because it was made in 1957 but was her mother of aunt ever a trophy Queen at Greensboro?

Thanks Dave, I was thinking I was at this race until you posted this. Kyle swept the Rock the year I saw him win there so it had to have been the '91 race I saw. Remember he lead almost all the laps and never came off that white line in the corners all day long.

Dave, Dad and I ran across Pee Wee Wentz at a rod run in York, Pa. back in the early 80's. Traded his racer for a cruiser.
