Doug????

A Fulmer Lance story:

One night while I was the track photographer Fulmer and crew brought the red and white #55 to Dixie, during the race he hit the turn 1-2 wall pretty hard and it addled him somewhat. The EMT goes up and sees the name on the top ("Doug" see photo below) and says, "DOUG - DOUG you OK?" Of course Fulmer doesn't answer, same question and answer again! They load Fulmer up in an amblance and off the the hospital to check for head injuries. He's ok, just had his bell rung a little!!

Most race fans actually thought his name was Fulmer!! (lol)

[Falconred]

Fulmer

Fulmer is his middle name and what most people called him up here in N GA where he is originally from.

[PaperMen]

Fulmer was only a "Nick Name" that was used in racing only. Sorta like my buddy Mr. Simmons, Buck was and is only a "Nick Name".

Fulmer

Sorry to correct you but Fulmer is his middle name. I helped build his early cars and worked with him for sometime. He only started using the James part after he left the mountains.

[PaperMen]

When i talked with him about doing the "Night Of Legends" deal i had at Toccoa the Story he gave me on Fulmer was it was a nickname he used so the Military wouldn't know he was racing. I will talk to him tomorrow and find out for sure. Either way though, he was one heck of a Driver.

[Falconred]

Woops

Sometimes a night at the track doesn't turn out the way you want it to: I think (if my old memory doesn't fail me) that the driver is Danny Fergason (sp) and I won't go into the details of this crash but he was going for the win and this was on the front streach near the flag stand. The track got narrow at the top that night!

[PaperMen]

"ooouch"!!

How about a who's it: Dixie Speedway, Woodstock, GA

It is Jimmy Kay driving a car prepped by Mr P B Broome of Rome Auto Clinic Whom Buddy Morris drove for and won a ton of races on the Tri Racing circut in the early 80s in the no 88 car in limited sportsman class. Mr Broome was quite a character who bore a strong resemblance to Kenny Rogers.Racing needs more men today like Mr Broome. On the Danny Ferguson crash that is me and one of Dannys brothers standing at the rear of car. The most amazing part of that is the car was still moving and Danny was getting out of the car and trying to climb into Mitch Fowlers car to have a chat about what Mr Fowler had just done. Danny was a very lucky man on that nite.

Remember it well>>>>>

Yep, I figured someone would post a little more about the wreck. You are right, it always amazed me that Danny got out before the car stopped and headed for Mitch. Do you remember him sitting on the back straight wall at Rome?? I have photos of that too but can't seem to find them right now.
