Yes Red Farmer was in the Prelude to the Dream, by that I mean the last 2 years, where it has really gotten hot competition wise.
chopwnpc. I'll have to dig out my old programs. I've got one from the 83 race which should straighten me out on the FQ from 82. Thanks for jogging my memory.
I raced side by side with Red at Talledega last year at the Ice Bowl. I got the best of him and made the race. After it was all over, he came to my trailer and gave me a shit storm about how "I raced him too easy" and that " I should have went on and forgot that he was Red Farmer" I was respectful and said "Red I was doing my best".... He called Bullshit on me and said "You can't put a straight on somebody after you pass them, unless you feel sorry for them".....I still said "Red, I was doing my best"... Kevin Ooltewah Speed Shop
Different Bobby Allen. Bobby "Scruffy" Allen - sprint car racer - varied between the Pennsy sprint circuit and the World of Outlaws during the 80s. This Bobby Allen owned what he called "Bobby Allen's Southern Style Racing," and had a lot of different drivers. Gary Stuhler drove his cars quite a bit during the period.
Does anyone out there have any PICS of a 65 Chevy from Texas driven by George England or Bob Darrinton? One Hour Martinizing sponsored , ran during 65-66, Daytona too.I think the car was Yellow? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
This is what racing should be about, friends and family: Here's a little asphalt from Nashville. These are a part to some that got damaged in my basement so they may be a little rough around the edges.

AHHHH..... The good ole days when the pits were INSIDE the oval and there was a sexy trophy girl! I miss back when.....
Now for the asphalt: Two aproaches to Novas, I know the #74 of Ray Pucket (Pucket's Mop Bucket) won some races but I'm not sure of the other. In the Pits, Any body know this fellow??
This is a car I wrote about in a recent "Driven to the Past" column on Frontstretch.com. It was a former Holman-Moody Fred Lorenzen car, and the interior was still the same baby blue, as I recall. It was owned by Barney Barnhardt of Ohio, and was something of a "rental" car for ARCA. When John Marcum had a name driver coming in and needed a car, he called Barney. Curtis Turner is in the car in this photo, I believe, at Dayton in September of 1968. He also drove it at Salem the same year a couple of weeks later. It was also driven at times by Homer Newland, Joy Fair, and others. I have to thank the Daytonspeedwaylives.com researcher, Rick Patterson, for finding the photo...
Like most of you guys, I long for the good old days, but there are areas where we have made some progress. Track safety and driver extrication has improved somewhat since this photo was taken. It was at a northern Ohio track in the 50s, but it was pretty much the same all over back then...
this was the car before Standard Speed Shop sold gordan a lot of good stuff. after that he always was in the top 3 if he did not win......................on your pic of charlie padget I restored and sold the 32 ford. That was a great handling car.. I am still sick that I sold it to eddie grant of fla..oh yes I saved the Aluminum roll cage . I still have it out in my shop yard..Bobby
This is a picture of Charlies son Chuck after he won a race at dixie speedway in woodstock with the same car
I believe this Don Goins, he was a flagman in the East Tn. and SW Va. area. In the " Anybody know this fellow" photo.
