Just One Year Ago Today.................

We lost a great one just 12 short months ago. Thankfully I had the privilege of watching him race many times over the years.

One year ago today we lost Elzie Wylie "Buddy" Baker, Jr.

The year went by in somewhat of a blur, as they all seem to, and it only seems like a week or so since we got the sad and inevitable news that Buddy had passed.

Rest in peace Mr. Baker. You were an on the gas racer of the highest order.

Ditto. On the gas racer indeed. Back in the day when it was real racing as it was meant to be. Pure and simple with no gimmicks involved.

Yep.....my racing hero back in the day! My dad was a crew member for a team that Buddy drove for. I got to meet him and hang around.....but that was many moons ago!
