RIP Ray. That's too bad. I saw many of his cars run on what was to become the DIRT circuit. I also saw Brian run many times. There's a nice...
It almost looks like a Monza wagon, but that would have to be late 70's
Thanks for the info. They certainly look like they were fun to watch. I still wish I could find the article. It was an interesting read. I'm sure...
I don't recognize it. It was a little before my time, but I've seen pics of most of the old supers. It looks more like a modified to me, although...
I believe Bucky Buckholtz was an alias that Ron Lux used. Ron had to use an alias at some tracks so he could keep his USAC license. I read that in...
This one?
Post #10677, Maynard and Donnie Kroft is at Oswego, 1975 I believe (possibly the Port City 150). Below it is Maynard at Fulton. That pic is in the...
Lol. She might have run 2 races. Although Terry Kincaid began driving her husband Russ' car that year and had a fairly successful career. Alan...
Happy Birthday Neil!!!!
I was familiar with the name (so I googled it). I never got out to Lancaster, but my Dad's friends did a lot, so I heard a few of stories. And a...
Not too familiar with him, but Neil Truesdell looks to have been a Lancaster regular.
Don Diffendorf in the 40 at the NYS Fair Labor Day Race, 1974.
Don Diffendorf 1974.
Chuck Ciprich did drive it in 1977 at Daytona I believe. He mentions in the interview about running Daytona. I don't know anything else about it...
Jimmy and Chuck were real versatile drivers. They both ran pavement and dirt almost every weekend. And won on both pretty regular. Both were...
I remember the supers running at Syracuse (the car my Dad crew chiefed was the first super to run on dirt with the URC sprinters), but I really...
I guess technically a start and park. A 143 lap start and park. He really didn't get the hang of the tandem drafting (especially after dumping his...
Baldwin said it wasn't, but I guess we'll see. I hope not.
Congrats to Geoff Bodine for making the Coke Zero 400!!!!!
Thanks for the link Moselli. I wasn't much of a Richie fan, but that was a great interview. I miss those days so much.
I wonder if that's a nickname track announcer Jack Burgess gave him. Jack was a legend, but he could come up with some awful nicknames.
Wow, they only ran two races that year, both in July. This had to be the first race. The second only had a seven car field. That's a great pic. I...
I was wondering if anyone had any pics of Richie on dirt. I'm guessing that's 1973 at Brewerton. I'm not sure if Brewerton would have been part of...
The Cavalier is there. The American Pickers did a special for the Hall of Fame and I saw it in the background.
Gater News, February 1980.
Ollie was a fine driver. He came out and ran Oswego a couple times. Wins are hard to prove since stats weren't really kept at some tracks. I've...
As much as I was never a fan (my sister was), Richie certainly deserves to be there. Congrats to his family!!!!
I understand all this. I was giving my opinion. To me, any Hall of Fame is a joke. No one is ever going to agree on the format, or the people who...
We know how it's set up. I'm sure most of us have read that. The question was, do you agree with it? If you do, fine. If you don't, fine. And...
You did completely miss my point about a nice gesture. I didn't mean to the drivers or the fans. I meant to NASCAR racing itself. They need to...
