    • denotes out-of-state cars

Feel free to discuss :wink:

Best of the past and present :wink:

2

Bruce Everett and Hal Perry get in on promoters option:)

3

$100.00 to sit in the grandstand, and got more than your moneys worth. Lets do it!!!

4

STILL cannot beleive that Wayne Reutimann did not make the race.

5

The Gate

And Johnny Hicks as flagman (back when he could still see the backstretch). Before he got wiped out in the flagstand when a car took out the front fence and flagstand and broke Johnny’s leg.

OSF (Hey, did I see Jim Gray’s name anywhere there?)

6

What happend to Joe Shear, Tommy Maier, John Anderson, Joe Ruttman and Jim Bickerstaff? Must have loaded up and headed back north.

7

mark malcuit,jimmy crowe sr,don beiderman,paul conners,donnie allison,red farmer to add a few more.this list could get ridiculous and end up with several hundred names.

8

I’d a like to have seen Richard Coffin’s name on that list somewhere.
(RIP Big Guy)

9

Can’t believe nobody nominated Cananda’s best ever… Junior Hanley!

Tom Reffner, Rich Bickle, Dave Dion, Rick Carelli and Steve Carlson are a few more that got the job done, for many years, at meany places.

10

Hanley is in the race but he is so far out front of everyone else that they can’t see him. Guess the race is for second now. Unless Biederman spins him while he is getting lapped. HAHAHAHAHA!!!
All in fun!!!

11

While I’m still dreamin’ here…

$15 to get in on the grandstand side. $2 beer, $1 Pepsi and Coke products, $2 hot dogs, hamburgers, and pizza (that’s a full pie, not just a slice ;)), $1 fries/chips. $10 pit-side.

$10,000 to win, $1,000 to start, $20,000 in lap money, $50,000 in contigency prizes from Olin Mott Tire Company.

Hicks as the flagman, Bob Schmidt and Gordon Solie co-announcing, along with my good buddy Gene Crane trackside.

250 race cars in the pits, parked unuder the trees, out in the parking lot, and across the street trying to qualify for a 36-car field. Three solid days of racing. Practice and time trials on Friday night, heat races Saturday, haulijn’ a$$ to St. Pete for the Gulf Coast Classic Saturday night, and if you’re still in one piece Sunday, yuo’re good for the 200 :wink:

No “support divisions”.

Super Late Models. 200 laps-plus of QUALITY racing.

Sigh…
