Archie, I a'int no Bill Gates, but if you're scanning your photos choose the "J PEG" type of file, it makes them a lot smaller, byte-wise.

If Sam ever ran ARCA, it wasn't much, and I don't remember it. But he was MR. LATE MODEL SPORTSMAN. AND he BUILT his own cars, even in his NASCAR/Thomas Bros. days. Built them, drove them, towed them to the track, and wore slap out the competition. If Sam Ard ever got his right front fender up along-side the left rear quarter-panel of a competitor, he hang on longer than a pit-bull, might as well let him go. He didn't know the meaning of backing off. Make no mistake, Sam Ard was as good and as tough as there ever has been, behind the wheel of a race car, or behind a welding helment building one.

Sam could have had an equally successful Winston Cup carreer, had he not been injured at Rockingham in the early '80's. At the time, there wasn't anybody in 'Cup any better than he was. And THERE SURE A'INT NOW, (either).

I'll tell you one thing whenever Sam Ard showed up at Cumberland International Speedway ( Now FMS ) it was then whom was going to race for second , also tough at the track was Butch Lindley , Junior Johnson ( Florence SC ) , Jack Bland and Tommy Ellis , in earlier times Ray Hendrick was the man to beat Modified or Late Model Sportsman often winning both races in the same day along with Harry Gant & Eddie Royster .

Hi there Archie, Not even real sure,but is it Slick Johnson? Been a long time!! I do know Slick did run a few Nascar races.And at one time he drove a ford for a guy from Monroe NC named Ron Spone,and the number was 50 something. You got any information on that or can ya tell me more?

If you have a photo program on your PC open your photo in the program check the "edit" or "image" box and look for the "resize" option. I change mine to a width of around 400 pixels or around 43kb.
