Tell Me About George Fox and the Thomas Bros. Country Ham Car #0 Chevelle


Stock Car Racing History

Dave, I know Mr. Fox drove the # 5 1960 Dodge in Sept. 1962 at N. Wilk. for Bobby Waddell. He only got in a couple laps before breaking a transmission. Maybe this info will trigger someones memory.

Stock Car Racing History

really cool stuff Dave. I tried last year to find out more about this interesting man but came up blank. . I never heard back from Mr Smith who worked for the Sentinel and raced a Camaro at Speedworld.

Dave, Wow! What an interesting lead in to this story. You constantly amaze me my friend with your memory and contacts. I dont believe Ms. Jemele Hill still works for the Sentinel but I may follow up with Steven Cole Smith who was the Sentinel Automotive Writer and see if they have any other info on this family.

Go to have lunch in Port Orange 2 years ago with Dutch when he came down for a visit and heard a ton of great dirt stories. He was a great one on any surface....

All Time Greatest Dirt Racers


Stock Car Racing History

One of, if not the most impressive dirt show I ever witnessed was Tony stewart at Knoxville when he borrowed a car he had never driven and finished second. Never lifted and ran the top side and was on the edge for every lap.Hate to give my vote for one race but I will......

WHERE SHOULD LARRY FRANK'S "1962 DARLINGTON SOUTHERN 500 WINNER DARLINGTON TROPHY" BE PLACED?


General

Not an easy decision by any means. In my opinion someone in the family should go visit the Darlington HOF and see if its being kept up to standards. Also get in writing that they understand this is a loan from the family and not to be loaned elsewhere or sold. This is an important part of our past and needs to be handled properly. Getting opinions from folks who have great intentions but hasn't been to either HOF is taking a chance.
