What does a Saturday nite or Sunday at the races Feel like


Local and Regional Short Track Racing

Bill--those chicken finger you describe are mouthwatering to say the least---its got something to do with that boiling substance they drop it in.. Some say they sell it just before the feature to the top 4 on time trials.. Any way you look at it they gooooood,dang good......The old fairground speedway in Tampa had some great slaw dogs too.. My wife just informed me of them .. There was a time that thats just about all we lived off of going from track to track back in the day.....................................Memories

Wally bell posted one of the smell of Nitro-- We dont need that stuff,but the smell of castroil/methanol mix is almost like a drug I think.. Remember You smelled it around hot go-karts,otherwise known as model airplane fuel . We used to buy it by the gallon and add it to the fuel to get that extra ump at the end of the straightaway,but the blue flame at nite told on us as you entered the corner.

As ranched as an out house smells its almost tolerated at a track during a good feature race. Hot Dogs have an aroma all their own.. Only thing better I think would be someone breaking out a precooked ham or turkey on the trailer for all to enjoy. If the right person on R/R reads this he can really tell a good one on this at Savannah back in the day.

Racing is something most people will not understand.---It is not just a sport or something to do on Saturday nite or Sunday. Its a way of life.

Once you are in it its in your blood. Once you make your first turn------- you cant stop.
The track is Home away from Home. You smell the Race Fuel and the rubber being used---------And when those engines scream----------its music to your ears.
But also its the love of the Racing Family....
Does going to the track make you feel different???

Please Support Tim Leeming - "The Legend"


General

This about describes Tim to the "T" --Some words may be hard to understand but if you read this slow and ingest it you will have the answer that the Charlotte reporter cannot phantom

A legend ( Latin , legenda , "things to be read") is a narrative of human actions that are perceived both by teller and listeners to take place within human history and to possess certain qualities that give the tale verisimilitude . Legend, for its active and passive participants includes no happenings that are outside the realm of "possibility", defined by a highly flexible set of parameters, which may include miracles that are perceived as actually having happened, within the specific tradition of indoctrination where the legend arises, and within which it may be transformed over time, in order to keep it fresh and vital, and realistic . A majority of legends operate within the realm of uncertainty, never being entirely believed by the participants, but also never being resolutely doubted. [ 1 ]

How Many Drivers Competed in Winston Cup?


Stock Car Racing History

That Peanut Butter sandwich gonna get stale ---unless someone answered the 64 cent question.

I cant believe it went quiet so fast. Almost like maybe a rain day at the track--everybody that knows must be setting back waiting on the puddles to soak in ..
