Well, we have an entire nation of pinhead race fans, with no taste.
I sold a fortune yesterday, but I didn't sell my soul.
The midget race car that Pancho Carter drove on the way to a USAC championship was built by a man named Don Edmunds, we knew this by the serial number. We had advertised it for sale a few years ago, and a young man called and said, "You won't believe this, but I used to play in that car when I was a kid." His father had passed away at an early age, then his family sold the car, when his grandfather died a couple of years later. He kept every picture of that car, and every racing program he could find on it.
Yesterday, he, his Mom and his sister drove from Windsor (about 5 hours) to watch the car get sold. We had them up on stage to tell the story.
My Dad being interviewed for a Backyard Mechanic kind of show....it's supposed to air in a couple of weeks.
