That's the best thing about mutts, they ALWAYS look toooo innocent. Hey Dave, I've been meaning to ask you! Do you recall a driver by the name of Harlan "Red" Ozzie from the early to mid sixties.. The first time I saw him wuz at the 1/4 mile track in Rockford, IL..< I lived in the area until ..He drove a 57 Chevy (#17) at that time and then graduated to whatever sanctioning body made the circuit around the midwest, including Milwaukee...As far as I can remember, he always drove Chevies, last one I remember him driving was a 63...Just wondered what ever happened to him, he was one of the greatest local drivers around those parts.

I hope to hell that CBS *NEVER* carries another Nascar race again! I can't belive those jerks did what they did today buy not carring the Talladega Race! It's bad enough that CBS uses the King Jerk himself, Ken Squire, but then they don't think that there's enough Nascar fans out here to warrent interupting the evening news cast! As far as I'm concerned, I'll not watch or support another CBS TV activity again.... Forget watch the local CBS news.... Forget being supportive of CBS in TV ratings! To HELL with CBS!!!!

It has given some of the less popular drivers a place to go and for some new guys to showcase their talants but it still does not generate the adrenalyn that the cup guys do, however I will keep trying as I favor the 44 truck (Bryan Reffner, Ervan,Simo Racing,no matter, I am on my way to Taladega to get my monthly fix see you see you all next week. 0rihower driben * Evaluation copy of Silver Xpress.
