How many days until the 2020 Daytona 500?

I missed one I wanted to post. Art Richer in the 11car sponsored by our next door neighbor Naser Oil Company. We were the Mazur’s and The Fazers live kitty corner from us.

The Golden Spoon Family...So I hear.

I never heard about “The Golden Spoon” but that’s laughable to say the least.
Nice pics!

Escanaba’s Ed “Stubby” Provo. The guy was a Hoot. Always had some goofy story to tell you.

Milwaukee’s Paul Feldner 1966

Why are Poole, Sorenson and Suarez running '19 models? Especially the first two because there's an actual, significant body difference in the Chevies.

Yikes when did that happen?

1965
Paul Hawkins was one of two drivers to crash into the Harbor during the Monaco GP.
Alberto Ascari crashed there in 1955, four days before his fatal accident at Monza.

Oops, I should have said silver spoon. I was sarcastically referring to a post in another thread that said Ryan had a golden spoon opportunity in NASCAR because his dad raced. I don't agree with what that poster stated.

Darrin Allard. Guys like this have kept the movement for vintage mods alive. He found a frame in a salvage yard, found out who’s car it was and recreated Gene Coleman’s green #40. I posted that car many times.

When die casts were big I found one these in the close out section at K-Mart for the unheard of price of $2.99. I sold it to a dealer for somewhere around $100.

The amount of those Racing Champions cars both 1/24th and 1/64th scale i bought at Walmart during the boom years of like 98-2002 was crazy. Still have them over my parents house in boxes. My dad put a few in his garage. Cup Series and Busch.
