I’ve Been A Racing Fan Ever Since… X-Racer / DISABLED / RETIRED 40+ YEARS

I Love Racing Because… " YOU CAN TAKE the MAN OUTTA the RACE CAR, but, YOU CAN --N E V A H-- TAKE the RACE OUTTA the R A C E R

The best race I have ever been to was… *** DAYTONÀ. JULY. 2001. ***. PEPSI 400 (( FOLLOWING DALE SR's DEATH )) --- RESTART with SIX LAPS TO GO --- ••DALE JR. Restarting In SEVENTH PLACE•• My Son asked =IF= I thought JR. could WIN ? ••• My reply, "HE WOULD HAVE TO PASS ALL SIX CARS, ONE in EVERY LAP, & HE'S STARTING TRAPPED ON THE INSIDE LANE... iT ISN'T LIKELY ..!!!" *** COMING OUT OF TURN # 4, ONE LAP AFTER THE RESTART, DALE JR. WAS --- LEADING--- & WON ! --- In VICTORY CIRCLE DALE JR. SAID THAT "HE WAS SURE THAT DALE SR. WAS IN THE CAR WITH HIM !" --(( NOBODY QUESTIONED THAT ! ))--

The worst crash I’ve ever seen in person was… MICHAEL WALTRIP'S. CRASH INTO THE END OF THE PIT ENTRANCE WALL... HIS CAR LITERALLY DISINTEGRATED BEFORE OUR EYES, YET WHEN THE DUST SETTLED, MICHAEL MIRACULESLY STEPPED OUT !!!

My biggest ‘racing memory’ is… ARCA'S MULTI-YEAR TRACK CHAMPION, ((( JOY FAIR ))) YELLOW # 1. WAS IN THE LEAD, LAST LAP !!! AN ALL WHITE VISITING DRIVER HAD HIT THE "END IF THE TRACK ENTRANCE WALL, ( LIKE M. WALTRIP'S WRECK, ) AND SAT AT 90 DEGREES TO THE BACK WALL, A WHITE CAR STICKING OUT FROM A WHITE WALL, WITH ONLY THIN BLACK, HAND PAINTED NUMBERS ON HIS CAR... *** JOY FAIR NEVER SAW ANYTHING ON THE MID BACKSTRETCH TRACK, WHITE ON WHITE, AND HE DROVE "THROUGH" THE CENTER OF THE CRASHED CAR..! ..! ..! *** BOTH DRIVERS WERE ONLY SLIGHTLY INJURED..!!! *** JOY FAIR WON YET ANOTHER ARCA TRACK CHAMPIONSHIP, THERE AT TOLEDO SPEEDWAY !
