That was clutch - helped me in many ways...

Gave me 1st half results for Daredevil division (I had none of them beforehand)

Verified 1st half Mod results (had 'em all correct... thank god - descrepancies suck!!)

Gave me standard feature length for both divisions

Knew about 5/30 xtra distance ones, but not the lenght in laps

Verified my rains outs for 5/2 and 5/16

Gave ppd features with reason - always a bonus, especially this far back

Even gave me Program Name & Publisher (yes, I'm recording that too...)

Even had Whitehouse listed as the Race Director..

A ton of info in those pics spd... forever grateful - thanks my man

Sid,

Is it clear enough to read the results? I have some old speedway sceens and such I still need to sort through. I will see what I have and get it scanned in a few days. Glad I can help, I have left a lot of sweat at the Bowl over the years.

Steve - once you dig 'em out, give me a shout with the dates, that way if it's an issue I have already, you can save yourself the trouble of scanning them in. Acutally, right now I have various issues between 1978-1983 only - so anything pre 1978 I could definitely use.

Thanks so much

Sid · WSB Mini Stock Guru

Steve, I have a program from 1961 that has the same layout as the one you've scanned. The issue I have has a page where they list the officials for the '61 season. Does your issue have a page where they list the '71 officials?

When ya get a chance...

I'll send ya a list of of the speedway scenes I have... check your email tomorrow

Sid,

Here is the info from the 1970 program (list of track officials):

Now here is some stuff from the 1981 WSB Blast off program I have. You may have this stuff already but others may find some of this makes them fell old:

Still looking and will let you know.

Oh, Kim Gero is referenced a number of times in the 1981 program. Might be a good source.

Sid · WSB Mini Stock Guru

You are the man - thanks so much...

is that my man Brooksie chillin' with Ronnie Bouchard

The troops have Kim Gero on the 'to hunt down' list - haven't heard anything back yet...

I thought the 'Remember When' page was cool. I have the 1986 Blastoff program and it has all the winners of the Blastoff race from #1 in 1975 to 1985. I'll scann it and post it later today.

The WSB has really driven away a number of old timers. I know the two 100+ feature winners and neither one wants anything to do with the place with the current owner still in charge. That is really sad. That could also be why some people are hesitant in digging out stuff because they feel the same way.

Sid · WSB Mini Stock Guru

I have all the Blast Off winners, so save yourself the scan on that one...

As for the track, indeed that isn't the first I've heard of that perspective... And I understand their point of view. However, not having anything to do with the place while the current regime is in place, doesn't really help the track. Just a sucky situation, I guess....

spdracer19 · Pick-um contest administrator

Yes, The Track should be utilizing the fame and followers of their past champions to help build up their base not push people away. Oh well.

Do you have the info that Rick Donnelly won the 1983 Blastoff but was DQ'd and Dickie Doo was awarded the win! Rumor has it his rear window didn't meet the templates

spdracer19 · Pick-um contest administrator

Sid,

Do you need aything from this? Contains a feature story about Dale Holdridge, list of feature winners thus far, Mod & SS drivers & owners rosters and pit notes and a little other info. Let me know and it'll get posted.

And bonus points, who is that lurking back there in 28th in points in Super Stock? Hint it was the driver of #17!

SPD, Great up to 1985, We win Blast Off 1986 and you got no LOVE for me lol! ( I Do ). If Sid needs some from 1986 I do have some. Richie.

spdracer19 · Pick-um contest administrator

You won the Blastoff in '86? Were you still the wheel man in '86 or was that Rick Deslanders then?

richard savage · Car Owner

SPD, Rick and I split in the middle of 1985 and I replaced him with Jimmy (The Animal ) Lloyd. We won with Rick and Jimmy both in 1985. Then we won the first 3 in a row in 1986 including, the Blast off Feature. Jimmy and I won our last race, the 4th of the season on the M.J. Sullivan Wednesday night show.That was June 25th. My oldest Son was born on Friday June 20th, we crashed bad on the 21st and had to clip the car. We finished the car at 2:30AM on Wednesday morning the 25th so we could hold on to the point lead and race that night and we won. My ( EXWIFE )did'nt seam to happy about that.lol! Richie.

Sid · WSB Mini Stock Guru

Hey - the research is goin' good I guess, went to check out what I had for '86. Sure as @!#!, Jimmy Lloyd wins the first 3 Super Stock races, and the MJ show on June 25th. Keep up the stories, it gives me good verification....lol

And oh yeah... I do have the Dickie Doo '83 Blast Off win via a Rick Donnelly DQ. Research from the Sid files simply states Donnelly refused tech...

spdracer19 · Pick-um contest administrator

Yeah, the program said he refused to tech the motor.

richard savage · Car Owner

Sid, Bob Potter also won the first 3 in a row in 1986. On that June 25st night, after rebuilding the old (Fly-en 78 ) we had some handling problems in the warmups. Not sure what to do with the old girl I went to see a modified driver for some advice, and he told me what I did wrong and how to fix it. That driver was MR. Bob Potter, and I'll never forget the help he gave me that night. It was like, Oh my God ( Bob Potter talked to me) like a little kid in a candy store.He's my HERO! Richie.

Sid · WSB Mini Stock Guru
