I agree. There is so much history in Dirt Racing that we need to get it out. Not trying to bad mouth anyone here but it seems that dirt racers are more here to stay than asphalt racers.There is probably no easy answer for this other than a lot of the younger racers are going asphalt just to try to get up the ladder. This is good, but what most dirt racers have found is the money is very good where they are at & do not have to be looking for another direction. This is only going to keep dirt racing solid as the years go on because of making good fan bases just as the heros of yesterday & today have done. You mention names like Kinser, Swindell, Francis, Hewitt, Bloomquist, Pierce & so many others & racing fans know who you are talking about weather they are dirt fans or asphalt fans, because they stayed right here in dirt racing. So dig them photos & stories out of the box & get them posted on here.

you are right--only way we will survive is to get noticed,be noticed,get up high--no higher so you can be seen --if we dont you can just go dig through the mess to find your roots you have roots dont you--if not then you dont belong.
we need bodies signing up--photos of D I R T cars whether they got fenders or not --the older the better-- remember asphalt is for getting to the track,dirt is for racing

I could fill pages with pictures, but I don't need to be the only one posting on here. We need history from all parts of the country. Many years ago I was at a track in McGee, Kentucky, back in the country, nothing fancy, but one hell of a race that afternoon, but I can not remember the first name of any driver racing that day. But you know somewhere someone has old photos & stories of that race track. This type of story is all over this country & we like to hear about these type places. I always told people that you could head me toward the most hole in the wall race track & I would have the most fun there.

I have to tell a story on myself here. A bunch of us had went to Bryan, Ohio for a holiday weekend race after racing the night before in Findlay. Well when we got to the track someone told us the state route back home was closed because of a bridge out. One of the other car owners told us that you just had to go around a country block to get around. He tells us to turn right go to first road turn left, so here we go turned right & went to first road & turned left. What he did not realize was in the middle of this country block was a small farming town. Well here I go, with Ed Hounshell following me pulling his race car, into this town not knowing any different that we was on the wrong road. In the middle of town we went across a railroad track & right out into the middle of a baseball field with both these trucks & trailers in the middle of the night. So what do you do, across the field we go to the next street & down this street we go to get back out of town. Donna Hounshell decided I had lost my mind that night, but we all made it home ok without going to jail.But what an experience we had that night.
