Close your eyes and think back to the days gone by when cars were flat towed or in some examples towed on a trailer. Well think of taking your trusty Nash and towing your fast race car to the beach to race. Got that imbedded in your mind?? If so look below and see your dream in color..
I guess this was a real sight to see at Daytona or then again maybe not..YOU tell Me.
OLD GUYS AND OLD CARS --kinda makes you misty eyed doesnt it??
This is a shot of the G.O.D.S. race Winner Dennis Williams. Friday night 04-27-12.
OLD GUYS AND OLD CARS DONT RACE ANY MORE DO THEY???

RacersReunion Family of legends Driver Harry Gant will be in Shelby this Friday night signing autographs and watching Dennis try for #4. It's a big deal and we invite you all to come out and join in the fun. W
They dont race those old cars fast do they????
No this is not an old picture. It's from last Friday night. They were racing for the win in a heat
i DONT KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU ARE FOLLOWING WHAT "W" IS DOING but in my eyes he is accomplishing what many only wish they could do AND some that said it would not work.
He took a few piles of dirt and turned it into a family affair on a Friday night.
Dont believe me just go to facebook--I know some dont like it-- and see his weekly photos that G--O--D racing has accomplished.
Look at the stands ------people in them and there is more to his game too,go read about it----- its on facebook too

Bet you havent heard it sang like these 5 young girls do--this is quite different in the harmony
BAD BOY Brad did just that . He started off out of the trailer and on the first lap of practice he was kissing the wall. Now when you pull a Martinsville off top shelf and put a gear in it and win the race on a mile and half track you are way up on the wheel. And with it being as hot as it was he looked in fine shape there at the end. Do you suppose he may have turned the AC on in the car today? With the way that Dodge is running I cant see the upside of moving to Ford. The new saying is DODGE, Domestically imported from Michigan for you!!!
Look at what you have learned over this, I was telling you what I remember of the past in racing through Ga. As we have these small outings sometimes things will come back to me that I saw,heard or was a part of in the travels of the old racing days. I cannot describe in words how those days reflected on todays remembrance of days gone by. Only way I can preserve the memories is by script.
Ive been told Ive smelled to much of the wonderful smells associated with racing, if thats so then I will continue to be what I am because im hooked on it and LIFE
IF and only if you look you will see that 129 and alt129 intersect in Hartford but if you were to have looked a little closer you would have seen that familiar number that you say Ned Jarrett talked about.
Yes Hawkinsville is the county seat of Pulaski county and there is a courthouse there but in the old town of Hartford where all those roads intersected US 129--US 129 alt and highway 11 there was a square that traffic went around,kinda like it was an auction area for cotton and what else I dont know, but it IS a small cozy town thats quiet and laid back.
Im not no historian but only conveying what was told to me or what I saw growing up. My dad and myself were tight,as in I went where he went,except when I was deposited at school, and yes I did miss a few days of school to attend the ongoings of a race proceeding .
