what no chilli bowl or kyle Larson goods amazing maybe there is hope for you yetOriginally posted by CIRF View PostThese are 2 of my most prized racing related possessions. I bought the white T-shirt when Jack was running a Ford engine in this dirt late model and was on the front row (that is until ol' snort bloomquist turned him into the wall before the first turn of the first lap and broke Jack's wrist!!!) of the very first Eldora Dirt Late Model Dream.
The black T-shirt was the car Jack drove on Eldora Million weekend. Jack was leading his heat race by about 1/2 a straight away and the engine let go with about 5 to go. There were a bunch of disappointed Hewitt fans (myself included in a big way!!) in the Eldora grandstands that evening!!
I had them both tucked away deep in a closet and had forgotten about them. The wife found 'em and showed 'em to me. Almost brought a tear to my eye.

That's pretty cool. A few names I haven't seen for a while on there. Gusty Christenberry and Rex Richey. I know we lost Rex a couple ye assets ago. Wonder what ol Gusty is up too now days? I know he was a big farmer back when he raced.Originally posted by 25 Jay 53 View PostHere are a couple of things I ran across that I had put up
I remember both of those cars CIRF and I remember when Jack broke his wrist. The black car had the polished frame....very sharp piece.

Thanks. I didn't know that Rex had passed away. Hate to hear that, he won the very first Hav-A-Tampa race that I ever seen back in 1990 I think. It was at Hohenwald, TN. And, actually that is Clayton Christenberry not Gusty. I believe I got the flag autographed at Atomic in 1998.Originally posted by zyoung25 View PostThat's pretty cool.

Ah I get them mixed up I just seen the last name. I could have Rex mixed up with another guy too, maybe a Douglas? I can't get nothing right today lol. Still yet cool find though man. I got a few more things I found and never posted pics of yet.
I remember now who I'm talking about, Rex is still with us don't believe he races anymore though. I always get Rex and Scott Sexton mixed up, i believe Sexron is one who passed a couple years ago, sure where I came up with a Douglas.Last edited by zyoung25; 01-26-2015, 11:38 PM.

why would you say Rex Richey passed away a few years ago, he started on the front row at Boyd's back in April of last year in a limited late model less than a year ago, if he's passed away since then, then that's news to me, did he pass away in the last few months???Originally posted by zyoung25 View PostThat's pretty cool.
