I am considering opening up my "Racing Photos" section for 2012 to include areas not covered now on the site. Also, anyone interested in writing a 'RACING THEMED' COLUMN or BLOG please contact me at: JACK'S E Mail Please do not send photos that have been sent to other 'Nostalgia' sites, as the advertisements on those sites goes against my intent.
I do not profit from other people's submissions !!! JACK'S E Mail I DO NOT STEAL OTHER PEOPLE'S PHOTOS, AS A LOT OF "HISTORIANS" DO, AND REPRESENT THEM AS MINE. ONLY THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S NAME IS POSTED BELOW THE SUBMITTED PHOTOS, NOT MINE AS IS THE 'NORM' !! |
From the 'WHO'......Lyrics from: "Won't be Fooled again" "Meet the new Boss...Same as the Old Boss !!" No 'VP Director of Short Track Operations', no "Director of TRACK PR", no corporate heads, just a short track paying a whole lot of money !! "Clash at the Can " paid $8000 + to the winner, Billy Decker ! Winner of the "GOBRECHT MEMORIAL" WON $7000 ! Winner of the Mitch Smith Memorial won $10,000 not $300 !! Look at what Fonda, another short track paid $9500!!
"What it Was"
I recently sent a message to Scott Pacich commenting about a conversation I had just had with 'NES GASMAN' about "Where racing went wrong". Scott picked up on it , added his racing memories, along with his father's racing endeavors, and came up with this column........
Williams Grove will continue to pay $3,600 to win for a regular show, plus incentives for winning from outside the third row and $10 per lap led. Williams Grove’s championship team gets $20,000. They do not pay more for Demo Derbies wins than they pay their regular racer's purse! |
