Anybody ever remember watching his dad drive. "Crazy Chargin Vic Irvin?" Ernie was my hero. Not to many people from Monterey/Salinas, California every made it to the big time. Ernie did and that made me realize anything is possible. And how about Ernie Irvan having to pay Dale Earnhardt Sr, $1400.00 to put his name on the side of Ernie's car. I think the next time it cost Ernie $3500.00 to put Dale Earnheardt Sr name on the side of his car. My last memory of Ernie and Vic Irvan driving was at Santa Maria, Ca for a dirt stock car race. They pulled in one of these old 10 car open air double deck trailers with two identical cars on the trailer and proceeded to go racing....lol!

Larry "O" and God bless you all!
