      CD is a hell of a nice guy and a ton of fun to be around. He’s definitely a checkers or wreckers guy.

        Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

              Guessing you mean BB modified style with crate motors? They run them in Ohio and East.

                Those cars look cool, but that exhaust sound though! Yikes!

                    Retired Pipefitter local 597. Been going to stock car races since the mid 50’s. My dad was a car builder. I’ve managed to see the World 100 40 consecutive years beginning in 1979. Traveling, playing more music, sitting in with different band friends, a little writing here and there. Also, first and foremost, flagging stock car racing.

                      Yes it was. We helped Freddie when it was still dirt.

                        Cool, I remember Fred back to his rookie days. #406. He had moved to Late Model after the blacktop was layed down. He was a staple at the square for virtually the entire time I attended that track. I think I even remember him getting his only or one of very few BB wins in a twin or triple 20 show. God I miss that place!

                          38 years old, I live outside of Eldora Speedway. I've been happily married for 16 years and my wife and I have 5 daughters. 14, 12, 10, 4 and 1. The 12, 10 and 4 year old love going to the races with me. My passion for dirt racing came from me racing motocross back in the 90's. I used to follow the AMA flat track series (Still do) and I went to Eldroa when they raced their a few times and got familiar with Eldora. That's when I started visiting the Big E more often. I am now a regular at almost every race held at the track and especially enjoy the LM's as that's what I follow from the WoO's to the Lucas. I still travel to watch the late models at Oakshade, Attica, Florence, Lawrenceburg when time allows. I also enjoy watching and traveling to Supercross races in the winter. If you are ever bored in the winter on a Saturday night in January / February I'd highly recommend watching Supercross on NBCSN. Unfortunately, when the races are on the west coast the races don't start until 10:00. Exciting racing and watching dirt fly! I've worked as an operations manager at an electrical distributor since graduating HS.

                            40 yrs old married 17 years 5 children.. Ex Navy(3 yrs) currently work in auto industry(17 years) with family/work I don't get to the track near enough as I'd like.. My early days of DLM grooming started at Santa Fe(still remember those bees at the bottom hanging out by the trashcans) as a little kid you asked yourself was going to the concession stand for pop/candy worth a bee sting,well of course it was... Kankakee in the 80's was the place to be and the place holds a big part of my DLM love,unfortunately won't go back until things change there(fair board)

                            As the kids get older they take turns going with me to the track.. Hate to say but good grades and chores completed are incentives for them to go to races & it's working..

                            Pretty boring but that's what I got

                              80 year old red neck from Alabama, married for 54 year to Miss Judy (RN), we have a 48 year old daughter and now enjoy the retirement life.

                              I attended my first dirt race in 1951 at the fair grounds in Birmingham...My last race was the ICE BOWL this past Sunday... I plan to attend East Bay for the Lucas oil races Wed-Sat this year...

                              I have traveled all over the south watching some of the best racing in the country, my most memorial race was watching Freddy Smith win the Lucas Oil race at NAS, his last win at my all time favorite track... The 3 races I look forward to now is the North/South, Lucas Oil at the Magnolia Speedway, Columbus, MS and Easy Bay... The best part of the racing over years are the friends I have made, priceless...
