Remembering others This is the very reason that my father and I joined the Old Timers Group. To get to know the pioneers of this sport, the ones that dedicated all they had to make it great. Now that the pioneers are fading away, we need to be around to continue the stories and see to it that they are never forgotten. So much of the history has been pushed aside and forgotton about by so many people in NASCAR that if we don't continue this nobody will. Just think when was the last time you heard the words LATE MODEL SPORTSMAN on TV during a broadcast. It seems that corperate America buys the history when they buiy into it. Just my opinion.Ron
