For everyone in Racers Reunion
Stock Car Racing History
I may have been absent for a few days but Racers Reunion is still in my heart.
Ladies and Gentlemen, You have just read a very well written description of the life and times of racing with ole DW. The guy has become rather self centered around his little world,kinda like Wayne s world, but in a sense Tim is right on his description of Mr Darrell Walthorpe.
A few years ago,well more than a few but Darrell used to be real mouthy but now he is living in Diggers World now,like with his head in a hole???
But Tim at least still has his on his shoulders even if he walks a cat that goes where it wants to anyway.
The best part is what Tim wrote was written by an non attorney spokesperson who is also a person of importance on Racers Reunion and a mouth piece for "NEXUS" Fuel products. Both are fast and famous.
do you remember building a front end with 3/4 ton spindles? How about the work involved in fabricating one spindle then you had to get the centers in the correct place for the application.
Im creating an old coupe with this kind of setup and the old spring setup too. Racers Reunion is real good at stirring up old memories that have ALMOST been forgotten.
every time i get on here and read the posts or look at the great photos or new members something always jogs my memory of something from the good ole days.-----------------------------------------------------memories
Tim---Well if you will read the last post that Alex presented I think you will find that indeed things have corrected itself in a way that is acceptable . I commend Alex in the way he responded and to the fact that no one went home with their feeling hurt
No Alex you are wrong,no one brought up religion on here and I did not attack you. Backing out and running admits defeat. Stand your ground on what you think is right even if I show it another way.
Dave and myself knew Dale as you never will,not for no reason other than you were not there. What I posted is how Dale was to me personally. Dave also was there in a position to also enjoy the great times with Dale. So if you REALLY want to leave our site I am truly sorry you have that desire.
well Tim you started this lil debate here and it has raised a couple of hairs on several folks. You got any input on this? I surely do but Im dare-some to start.
But I did grow up on the short tracks of the southeast and made a couple of friends along the way. It looks like two of them are in this debate.
One is DW and you remember how he was when you and I were racing, no Boogity back then but his mouth ran and he would "meet the press" so to say after every race it seems.
His fans and haters were always met with that can you see me now smile.
Now Dale on the other hand was still going to school during this time bouncing off fences and cars including mine more than once. But he would talk to you after ,at least to me anyway.
As the price of racing grew and we stopped racing in the Carolinas I would only see him on occasion but he always had that smile for me,and that dang strong arm around your neck.
I kept up with him throughout his super speedway and to me dedicated to the sport and to be the best he could be. Now if you happen to be there at the wrong time well he may blow his horn at ya. He said on one of those documentary's when asked wasnt there anything else he wanted to do -- his reply was I never wanted to do anything else but race. And race he could in the later years. Haters? yes but loyal fans heck yes. Tim had haters and followers as I found out in Columbia, and I had mine too.
But as Dave pointed out Dale was a man of his own, if you asked a stupid question he just may move the lenses from being pointed at him. Bad attitude? really Alex? I never seen him go hunt someone down to just to make a scene .
What you have wrote about Dale in a sense is is more than "hypocrisy";it is sheer nonsense.
Also true is the fact he has more fans after his death than before, but the haters came over because now they believe...
And your diatribe of words you try to put meaning behind is nothing but a bitter and abusive speech or piece of writing.
I truly love a debate as many here will attest to so if you want we can continue OR shake hands and go watch the race, your call ....
