i neglected to post in this thread.im a 51 year old disabled fella,broke my back in august 1995.been disabled since,i was a plumber for my pay check,was a volunteer fire fighter from 1980 until the early 90s,i also raced a hobby stock in 1980 and 1981,i dont mind sayin so myself,but i was pretty good,was second with the most fast times in 80,had the most fast times in 81,set the track record 5 times over the two years,won 2 main events each year...may not seem like many main wins,but when you are in fullsize cars ( i had a 1967 pontiac tempest,with a 389ci engine,had a 750cfm TWO barrel holly carb on it,was custom built for me before anyone says they werent made..lol.)with 25-30 cars in the main ( everyone raced) on a 1/4 mile dirt track,measured on the outside wall,with a sharp doglegg,and you consistanly start in the last two rows ( remember the fast times?)its diffacult to get to the lead in 15 laps,it was all we were allowed due to a curfew.all engines had to be off at 11.00pm sharp,if you hadnt loaded up on your trailer yet,you either pushed it on or called the track tow truck.and what added to the stress sometimes was that we had three divisions at the track everyweek,,,sprint/modifieds,super stocks and hobby stocks.
