Jim

Sure wish you could get your hands on one of them there new color cameras!

Sure would like to get my hands on some of them M&H Racemaster tires too, they are bad to the bone.

You Got anything on Roy Robins or Andy Hampton in the old "Fido"?

Had the "sprint car racers" not have copied off of the "modified racers", Sprints would still probably be racing with that little chrome hoop behind the drivers head.

Only sissy's use roll bars. I don't use one on my ride.

Thanks Jim. I knew you'd have something. I know Bobby Jr. He's a great guy, and also races, just not open wheel cars.

Thanks for the reminder Jim, I was a spectator at Portsmouth in '61 for that Bobby Marvin win, was also. there in"60 when Dick Good won, I lived about 5 min. from the track at Friendship, I could hear the cars racing on sun. nites, after listening for a couple of years, I just started going to the track, been hooked ever since.
