I can remember early 70s several visits to Lawrenceburg and possibly one to Queen City Speedway (Tri County)
I mostly remember playing with hotwheels on the benches of the old grandstand, The Crows Nest with Burt Swafford terribly misspronouncing names and until recently, I WAS. Krebs, Not CRABS. Salaminto, not SALLAMINO etc.
I remember Butch WIlkerson in a Black Number one and I always cheered for Butch. (Still say hi all the time and am glad for that) Gillstrap, Millburn (Also drove LMS), Krebs, Barr, Salminto, Gaines. Deputy (who I've seen at Paragon a couple times) and a host of others who's names aren't on the top of my head but I'd recognize in a heartbeat.
Remember one night not so much due to the racing but we were tearing down a old chicken coop and I got stung in the leg. (I've always had a bad reaction to stings bellow the waist) We went to the race that night but the fair was on, I didn't feel like hobbling around so we just went in for the racing. I know it was before the feature but from sitting, My leg had swelled four times normal size. Dad hauled me to the hospital.
Once I was liberated (Got my Drivers license) I often hit three our four races a week late 80s early 90s. Union County on Fri night, Florence sat and burg on sunday for LMS and stocks. Was working on a couple stock car teams in the late 80s
Thankfully I am still enjoying racing and almost every race, Dad and I share that passion, Its one of the few things other than fishing and shooting that we talk about regularly. Im thankful for that.
Have fun, Get to a race, Best Family dollar you can spend!
