    Belle-Clair

    Can we ask (beg) Donnie if the vintage cars can be added to the August 9 show. It looks like the final show with all classes (just the mods run with the WOO late models on Sept. 13) It is a big blow show out with a 100 laps, kids stuff, etc. etc. could be a long night. But it's worth a try...

Fox, published in 1967. It lists Arnie racing in 1965, 66, but also lists a Ray Knepper not qualifying in 1951 in a...

    Not that you really care... the Chase.

    I’m sure some of you are of the opinion that NASCAR has really messed up the history of the points championship with the Chase. I know, I know, get over it, it’s the way it is. But for old guys like me, the what if... after reading a article in Autoweek, to part quote: “...that only three of...

    A Wife's Diary

    Wife’s Diary: I thought my husband was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a nice restaurant for dinner. I was a bit late, but he made no comment on it. Conversation wasn't flowing, so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk. He agreed, but he didn't say much. Asked him...

    Show your race car-promote local racing!

    I'm putting on my marketing hat again. This sunday is the Easter car show at Forest Park in St. Louis. This is a big event, 10,000 to 20,000 spectators.
