Sorry to hear about John Potts. He was always a really nice guy and well respected.
Michael: Thanks for that interesting history of Fred Winnai. I never knew any of that information (aside from the photos and stats from the Indy...
I actually got to meet Freddy Winnai in the mid 70's at the indoor TQ races at Atlantic City. He was a really neat guy. I wasn't familiar with him...
Thanks Mac.
That sucks. Junior was a nice guy and he had excellent equipment. He couldn't have been that old. Was he sick?
Saw Stan Lobitz today at the Nazareth Diner get together. Had a great time. Ken Brenn was also there and I told him I saw his dirt champ car photo...
Check that guard rail out! :eek:
I agree! I learn new things all the time and really enjoy listening to all the neat history lessons and info and "dirt" on the cars and drivers...
"Every time I see a pic of those old tracks with guardrail posts or even the old Armco steel rail I cringe a little." Speaking of which: Duquoin,...
Damn! I didn't know that.
Mac: You're 100% right. I've seen those same conditions on cars that I've driven and that others have driven. My only question was whether someone...
I've race the banks quite a bit in midgets, sprints, and dirt cars (at Salem) and I never felt anything flex that I could identify immediately. A...
Thanks for the good wishes for my brother Lou. He's actually walking around and was at the family Christmas get together yesterday. He was very...
Rich was a great guy and a great driver. Some people took his extreme focus on the job at hand for being unfriendly, but that wasn't the case at...
I remember seeing that car at Reading, PA when I was a kid. If I remember correctly Aldo Andretti was driving it that particular night, not Mario....
Thanks for the heads-up! I'll try to get there. I've always wanted to see that track and the cars there.
Just like a pit stop at the Little 500! :D
Is that a full midget or a TQ?
We were at around 1073 or so.
LOL
How big is Latimore? It looks like a decent size track.
Great shots! They remind me of when I was young and would watch the USAC sprint cars race at Reading, PA. I wish I knew about the Latimore event....
I didn't know they still raced during WW2. What about gas rationing, tire shortages and things like that?
Nice workmanship!
It was sad to see that Rollie Beale died. When I was young he was one of my heroes that raced USAC sprint cars at Reading, PA. Later, when I raced...
Do you own the cars? If so- ask the people you bought the cars from. They might know.
Wow. I remember watching him race USAC sprint cars at Reading when I was a kid. Thanks for the info.
You said the late Greg Weld. When did he die? He couldn't have been that old.
Hey Stan: Can bald headed guys go to your party, too?
Hey Dawg: That video was neat! That looks like a lot of fun!
