And the winner is......Doc Faustina!!! Way to narrow it down. Same race day as Spencer and Sears photos. Not sure if this was an ARCA race since I don't recognize the #55 in the back ground.
Nice job!
PS. Bar + Rednecks + Racers + Woman...not a good combination. Ah the good ol' days.

Similar experience except it was a bar + marines + paratroopers + woman. Paratroopers won, end of story.

That's me in 1983 in the 82nd Airborne Division Fort Bragg, NC

LOL! So I guess you don't remember seeing the Beatles on Ed Sullivan? Wait...you probably don't know who Ed Sullivan is either!! Never mind.
I'll tell you this much...growing up in the 1960's as a kid and 1970's as a teen was some of the best of times. Besides Vietnam not being popular among the freaks (hippies) it was a great time to grow up in the U S of A.

thats right and you didnt want much because you didnt have much and io know you dont remember gas being 17.9 cent a gallon i pumped a many of gallon at our service station in lake view in the mid 60's bear i remember going to the store and buying a pint of chacolate milk and a honey bun with 25 cent and get change back

[capefear01]

thats right and you didnt want much because you didnt have much

Couldn't have said that better. We threw rocks on the railroad tracks for entertainment and smoked cigarette butts taken from my buddies Dad's ash tray. I worked the stock yards whipping live stock off the trucks for .10 cents an hour back in `66. I use to ride the train at age 7 to Tasty Freeze ice cream and buy a small cone for that same dime ( I actually ran along side of the train and climbed the latter and held on for a mile then jumped). My parents were oblivious to what I was doing, they thought I was playing in the backyard or something. I played softball as a kid and rode my bike to the games, my parents never came to watch, well maybe once or twice. Life was good, eat, sleep and get into mischief.
Well I still eat, sleep and get into mischief but at least I quit smoking.

Here's another....we were at trenton new jersy in 1970 wendell scott wrecked rolled it over before that we (me and Frankie wendell son )went to fill the gas cans unocal gas they also gave the teams motor oil they had different weights they ask frankie what kind did he want i stayed with the gas cans ran down to see what kind of oil he wanted he got back and told the unocal man that they wanted esso oil it cracked all of us up

Look familiar? Found these on ebay...didn't know who it was until I got them in the mail and got a magnifying glass...Wendell Scott in his garage!!!!!! Holy...! Like a dumbass I resold them...still kick my self for that.
Do you remember Wendell Scott had a neighbor boy that use to get into his cars and play like he was racing...Wendell's son (Frankie?) use to chase him off all the time. Anyway, I talked to that guy once...funniest darn story the way he told it.

[Racerchaser]

No, still got a boot cast on, but i can take it off at night time, but still can't put no weight on the foot.......Got to use one of damn walkers, and trust me, they are a pain in the a**, next doctors appointment is Oct 8th. maybe something then. I got one bone that don't want to heal right, and it might require a little more attention, that's a kind way of putting it.
thanks for asking

it was grown up more than that and on the side of the shop that is not shown(oppisite side of the door) were several cars and the weeds were just about over the tops of them this pic is mids 60's i would say i was there in 1970 right after he wrecked at trenton jabe thomas loaned him a car

[archielm#7]

i better get this a little closer wendell drove earlbrooks car at trenton nad one more time after that then he was loaned one of jabe thomas car for a few races until hios car was repaired
