Okay. Most people know who Casey Jones was. And many country music fans know the story of the "Wreck Of Old 97".
A lot of people thought 97Forever took the handle because he was a fan of Kurt Busch (he is) and others thought he was celebrating the wreck of old '97 (he wasn't). Neither has anything to do with this thread.

But all kidding aside, there has been a little guessing game going on here, all in fun of course, and 97Forever is the reason for it. I have had personal e-mail messages from people asking what the big secret was (if I told it wouldn't have been a secret) ever since I asked 97Forever on Monday via personal e-mail if he knew what this special day was, and in all his innocence, he finally, finally, gave in (fifteen minutes ago) and said, he didn't know.

What a wonderful day when I can pull the blanket of intrigue over the eyes of one as astute as 97Forever.

Before I forget, special birthday wishes to LUKE and to all the others who have a birthday today. You have some good company to celebrate this day with. So before I forget, maybe we should all sing happy birthday to a special one of the people having a birthday today.

Follow the bouncing ball:

There really is no bouncing ball, I just threw that in there. But we'll all sing anyway. Scroll on down, and think of 97Forever:



























:D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RED FARMER

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!! :bounce:



Red Farmer, born in Hialeah, Florida on October 15, 1932.

So everyone who has a birthday today, and that includes Luke, well, ya'll got some good company. As is Red Farmer.

And to 97Forever, man I was sure you would catch that one. :cheers:
 
Well----so much for my 'buddies' being able to use either seduction or internet prowess or both to crack a hard old shell like your's Whizz!

Damn it.Damn it.Damn it.

What can I say---I have only met Red about thirty times---he even patted me on the head when I was a kid,but damned if I thought to check on his birthday!!

Wreck of the old'97!! What a week---first Bowtie turns into Johnny-internet ace,and now Whiz is proving to be not only as irreverent but almost as damned smart as I am!

"They found him there still clutching the throttle....He was scalded to death by the Whizz!" :cheers:

(And ladies.........next time try your NATURAL abilities on him! ;) If you know what I mean.... ;) )
 
Try as I did, I certainly didn't look to see if it was Red's birthday. I figured that 97forever had anything and everything regarding Red Farmer covered. Little did I know, he didn't (or just didn't remember - CRS setting in, dear?). Anywho, congratulations to Whizzer! You got him good ! :D

On the bright side at least maybe Bowtie won't see this thread...

Whizzer, thanks for the birthday wishes and same to you '97. Many happy returns.
 
I tried 97, Whiz just wouldn't give! I checked driver Birthdays too, must have just over looked it.
 
I read thru all that for somebody's birthday????

happy birthday Luke.

Well there you go Clark, how can you pass up that offer?
 
Whizer I was raised in Hialeah! I'm wondering if you know his address from way back then ?
My first address in Hialeah was 267 east 63rd street. that was in 1958 I think. That was just about the Everglades then.
Hialeah Speedway opened on 8/16/54. I'm sure Red was there or I would think he was anyway.
Back then there was Medley , Oplocka, West Palm Beach as tracks for those early birds to race on.
I remember Red coming down with Bobby & Donnie to race the 100 lappers @ Palm Beach ever year for new years. That was many moons ago.
