great post - I was at
Leland often (dad made sure I was exposed to racing) I was there on the Sunday that unfortunately we lost Tony Williams Sr. A different era indeed. Got to hang in the pits at Richard;s pender country track a lot. An old school age friend of mine Mark Lane had a street stock Timmy Horrell drove. then a chevy Wayne Lanier drove. Some good racing there too.
Would love to see some old photos of Jackie Rodgers car - Hop Holmes, Brickhouse. Even the old street stock car my buddy Mark Lane entered at Richard's track (pender county speedway) when Timmy Horrell drove it . Those were great times! I see a few out there but there has to be more polaroids out there
