Thanks Bill and Jerry for the bumps. I just spoke with Marty and he said to pass on a thank you to those that have and will be viewing this thread. We all know this is like hunting a needle in a hay stack but you never know. Maybe we'll get lucky.

The actual date of the incident was July 9th, 1994. He thinks it was an All Star show. This was actually racing career ending for all three involved, Marty and Gib the flagmen, and Mark Phlipot, the driver of the modified. Poor Mark also took quite a "beating up" in the ride he took. He flipped, rolled, bounced and banged most of the way down the front stretch. Now, remember, this was 1994 in a modified. The old no padding seat,,etc. For a long time Mark blamed himself for the crash but there was nothing he could do. Another competitor came in under him on the start and forced him up into the wall. All three of the guys are the best of friends and have had some great times spectating together since this happened.

I will be gone a lot of the weekend at the races so a bump here and there would be appreciated. I hope this will stay pretty close to the front page til the first of the week. Again, thanks to all that have and will be trying to help the guys out. :thumb
