I had a couple of Little Kings Cream Ale last night. While keeping up with world 100.

 

You mean someone is actually brewing Little Kings again ??????????

Who ?

Now, if we can just find some Fehr's for Indy and some Drewery's for hoosierheel, we'll have a party !

Mission now is to look through more of the negatives I have and see if I can find cars sponsored by other breweries. More postings coming.....

Thanks.

The Oldtimer

Bill "Stroker" McGurk, 1972, Holland (NY) Speedway -- Bob Hunter photo. Bill was sponsored by Miller High Life via Dick Hammond/Gohr Distributors in Buffalo through the '70s. Hammond/Gohr also sponsored the Late Models of Dick Flaig (Genesee Beer).

Bill "Stroker" McGurk, 1968, Perry (NY) Speedway, when he was driving for Doc Hoctor of Buffalo, NY. Bill won the combined Holland-Perry championships in '68 and won the '68 Mustang pace car, which he still has today!

 

I would like to know more about the #15 Holman Moody 1966 Ford. Was it formally Ned Jarrets car or Dick Hutchersons car. Holman Moody only built three 1966 Galaxies that year. I currently own Fred Lorenzen's 1966 Holman Moody Galaxie. It's the only one of the three that survived. Is the one your Uncle drove still around?

Is that the old Nashville Fairgrounds race track? I saw a few races there in the late 70s early 80s

edit to add- I see the post above the pics saying it is that track. I have seen Richard Petty, Cale Yarborough, and Darryl Waltrip win there. The would open the gate to cross the track after the races in those days and you could walk among the drivers. In 1979 I walked past this upstart guy sitting on his car signing autographs and walked up and got the signature of the guy I thought would be rookie of the year. Yep walked past Dale Eanrhardt and got Jodie Ridley's signature!

 

Steve, what a party that would be! Get some of those old Louisville and Cincinnati beers and like the Bud Light commercial says, "Here we go!"

 

Bowsher 21, I wish I had some photos from that 1970 road course race at IRP for you. I did a "Driven to the Past" column about Jack sometime this year for Frontstretch.com. He was a good friend from the time we met when I was flagging for John Marcum. I even got an e-mail from Julie, his widow, thanking me for the column.

 

IndyJohn I think Fehrs Beer had a song "I's always Fehrs weather when good fellows get together" Or did I have one Fehrs to many !!!!!!LOL Tom (Tired Old man)

 

Lawman...

"For it's always Fehr weather,
when good fellows get together,
with Fehr's on the table,
and a good song ringing clear."

That's from 50 years ago. Tomorrow morning I'll have to ask my wife where I left my glasses.

 

From even farther back (how does this stuff linger in the mind so long?).

"Pepsi-Cola hits the spot,
12 full ounces, that's a lot,
twice as much for a nickel, too,
Pepsi-Cola is the drink for you."

 

he is just like the mayor of b'ham, ball and stick sports rule in their eyes.rumor is there is still hope.lets hope so.mayor is also not a nashville native son.

Hey FASTWAY - Not sure if this guy was actually sponsored by Hudepohl, or Hudepohl was what kept his crew happy ! The car was gold - the 14K was in the same style of lettering as on the can.

BTW - Does anyone know the driver ?

Shot at Dayton in 1967

Enjoy,

The Oldtimer !

 

Steve, I'm willing to bet that some FODS will know.

 

Maybe what the mayor of Nashville needs is a visit from some members of Gary Balough's old "pit crew."

 

Speaking of Gary, this is on the 4m, dirt tracking forum.

Gary Balough will be the special guest on Wednesday, September 14 when Inside Florida Racing comes back on the air on REAL RACIN USA.com at 7 PM.

Balough will be the only guest for this show;to discuss his rise up the ranks to Winston Cup racing, and his current projects which he hopes will help some younger drivers find success on the track.

Here's a few "BEER" cars from Michigan.

 

"Rock and Roll with Hudepohl"... "Get Moody with Hudy".... Crosley Field 1965.

 

Not a stockcar, but a Beer Car. Bob Smith in a supermod at Atomic Speedway (Ohio) in 1964. Tony Martin photo.

 

A few from Nashville, TN. These are the local cars that ran the night before the All American 400 in 1990.

All American 400 winner - Gary St. Amant

 

Some more ol' TN boys at work:

 

Here are a couple of Buck Simmons at Talladega: Yep, that's my ugly mug sitting with Buck back in the day in the second photo, sans beard.

 

I dont think Mr. Anderson will be driving one of Garys cars.

 

This is the unfortunate race where Harold Kite lost his life.
Couple of unfamiliar names here--Rock Harn and Rene Charland.
