Your so-o-o funny!
Although I did get to be on the crew of a few legends back in the day,and even got to race with a few of them when I started driving in 1980.I don't think I made the impact on the sport these guys have.
I'm lookin forward to just be among them this Friday evening.

What a GREAT NIGHT!!!! Thank You, OVRA & Outlaw Motor Speedway. I got to hear some great stories from Ray Rainey,Joe and Lee Hull,Buddy Frazier,Dennis Morgan,Johnny Johnson,and others. It seemed that Buddy Frazier got a pick on Dennis Morgan night going during the meal(all in fun) and everyone seemed to have a great time. Outlaw had some awesome racing later that night also.
Dad and I Thank all involved in putting this togather,we had a blast.

wagonmaster thank you and your Dad for coming, it was a great time
we didn't get all there that had confirmed but with football and starting that early on a Friday it made it tough for some' we figure at least 2/3 of the over 80 confirmed were there , not bad. But we are all ready working on ideas for next year to fix those problems. If you go to our news page there will be more about the night. It was a good night to listen, learn and laugh a lot. One thing I thought was real funny was listening to Ferris Collier and Tommy Laster still debating which one of them won the NCRA Late Model show in Amarillo in 1980. Ferris says he did because he still has the broken trophy from when he was in a plane crash later that night with Chub Daniels. All in All it was a great night to learn history. I think we were able to have some of the greatest Legends around. We should have a few pics on the photo page in a day or so.
