Running a midget on a mile track is a unique experience!! Good looking machine!
Hey- Don't encourage Roy! :-)
Nice job Lee!
I was just looking at the neat shots of the Indy car and engine that Josh Shaw is working on. What do you do if you need an internal engine parts...
Lee: Nice job on the slot car!!
Looks like it had a Chevy II engine in it.
Jim- You mean you started out right from the get-go in Sprint cars? I knew you were a psycho, but I didn't know you were that crazy! :-). How've...
Moe: Sorry about that- You posted the photos, not Lee. Yes- that was me in the 59, I think at Milwaukee Mile. Nice bunch of photos! It brings back...
Just saw those photos Lee and John posted. Neat! I knew that photo wasn't me as soon as I saw the hair! :-)
Hey- Thanks to all the great answers you guys gave me concerning Ed Elisian. Great info!!. Roy- I don't remember the incident at Winchester you...
I didn't mean that Agabashian was full of crap, merely that what he percieved as Bob Sweikert not wanting Elisian to beat him may have been just a...
That makes a good story, but the truth is that a small mistake at the high banks can kill you. It's merely a matter of chance whether you get hurt...
I still had some hair left then! :-)
Roy- great shots! Thanks for sharing those shots with us.
Where is that?
Did Smokey Snellbaker die? I didn't hear about it. He's a great guy. What happened? He wasn't that old.
I'm not sure if Lenny Boyd's roadster was a Van's or if he built it himself. He's still around and operates an aircraft repair service in Tom's...
Doug Craig's midgets were Van's Metal Craft cars. He had an upright that ran a Sesco 2X4 (and also a VW if I remember correctly), and the...
I love this board. I have run into more folks I used to know and it is so good to know they are still around. Doc Doc: I agree with you! This...
After re-reading the post, I may have erred in thinking that the post said Sleepy went back to CA rather than just Don Edmunds. Maybe Don left but...
That doesn't sound right to me. If the ARDC race was before the USAC series, which does NOT allow wings, why would they go back to California...
Hey Bob, remember this one from Indy? I found this in my collection, not sure who the photographer was that I got it from sorry. enjoy! :D Hi...
I don't think so Lee, Harry ran mostly NEMA and asphalt races.
Van May is a funny son-of-a-gun! I saw him last year at Grandview speedway in Bechtelsville, PA at a USAC/ARDC sprint/midget double header. I...
That sucks. I always liked Orange County. That was a good midget track. Who thought it was too big for midgets? They've raced midgets at IRP, PIR,...
I'll go along with Roy and the others regarding Rich Vogler. He had an undeserved reputation for being an unfriendly person. He was actually a...
I was at a body shop in Beverly NJ and the owner had purchased this TQ from Roland Willis. I don't know anything about it and was wondering if...
Hi Stan! How've you been?
Hey Billy: Was that the Savona roadster?
That car looks familiar. It may be the Savona car. I know Ben Trimble and will see him next Wed night. I'll ask him about the car then. I also...
