Bill, I to said I would not do the fb thing then a couple months ago I caved to peer pressure and so far until now I haven't regretted it. Yes Orlando was pre Disney and do you mean Preston Ford? I still remember Sonny and our dad's taking us to a place called Denny's, not the current Denny's for dinner and the HE-MAN sundae. We ate ice cream till we were sick!
I dont understand the motel comment. It was just a little mattress. Heck David threw a baseball threw a picture window, Mike Roller I think broke a swimming pool light globein the pool and him and Macky broke a door down to get at Jeff Bratton and me to throw us in the pool. I was a victim for pete's sake!!
I remember my Mom and your handlebar. Priceless!! That was a wild and crazy party for this 16 year old!
It will be great for all us KID'S to get together to talk about the man that was so largely responsible for these memories. I think my earliest childhood memory is me driving Tracy's 1/4 at 5 years old. I remember I did not practice or qualify and Dad and Sonny just started me on the tail end. I dont think anyone knew it was me and I remember Sonny raising crossed arms to indicate he wanted his car starting 10th. The rest is a blurr until all these people are chasing me on foot around the track trying to hit the switch to kill the car cause I couldn't reach it. The fat lady on the haybale and Dick Lotshaw got the end result of that. Good times.
I'm waiting on Bryan to get back in touch with me about where he will be staying and we want to be close. Hopefully there will be a motel in speedway or Brownsburg or Avon that the old crowd might stay that don't know us! Feel free to call 219-508-4214. Now I have to go to fb and reply to you and Kurite's post. I hope I c
