My dad used to help Randy some back in the mid to late 90s, he drove a mod for a friend of ours, and drove his late model. He had one of the last Rayburn cantilever cars that I ever remember seeing. It was a funky looking thing, but d@mn it would go. I remember sitting in it when they were loading the car, it had a shock being beside the seat.

That was some World 100, rain delays cars dropping out and it got over nearly the next morning. Happy for Randy. I knew him a little, he came to Florence often. He raced for several years in to the 2000's. He had a real good car for a few years after the World win, and drove the wheels off of it. Never had a big budget, but did have some success at the area tracks.

Randy is the only guy I remember ever having 4 cars to drive at the World 100. And he was a good racer. I think there have been bigger upsets at Eldora.

I remember the four cars. I think Purvis had four too. Maybe not him, but I think it was

Like they say sometimes it better to be Lucky then Good..

[Enigma41]

Yes! Was driving for a low budget team. No, he wasn't the big name like Jack, but was a good driver.

It was a Rayburn Canti-lever car to boot.

Only other I can think of is Mars winning the dream maybe? He was unheard of at the time.

No not really he was running second an purvis broke a spoiler but if purvis had not broke he would be the only one to win eldora 3 years in a row he still finished second.

Wasn't Steve Barnett second??

[willardboy]

He was lucky as $hit or he wouldnt have been top 10.

Steve Barnett finished 2nd to Jimmy Mars at the Dream in 97. Mars win was an upset as well.
