I am going with Nazereth. Must be Darrell Waltrip ? phil
Yes 1986 thru last year. Need to find my history file and I could tell you how many races and laps. phil
Timmy Pauch!
Based on my research on Nazareth, car numbers varied in the enduro class. You were given a number based on how early your registration came to them for that specific race. If you got a low number, you signed up early. A higher number, you were late registering. Some races the registrations were closed six weeks before the race when maximum numbers of cars were reached! I have one driver who had four different numbers on the same car! There were no fancy vinyl graphics back then, just a can of spray paint.
I had a two enduro pictures rejected by the publisher working on my book on Nazareth Speedway. If anyone else have pictures, I didn't already get, let me know in a private message- I got a few more days yet...
Too bad you weren't doing Flemington Speedway too. I have alot of enduro pics when I raced there in the early 90's, along with Timmy Pauch. Get alot of money, buy Nazareth track, open it up and we'll race it and make more memories, lol.
I do remember that car. And I remember Tim racing in the rookie Sportsman class at Flemington. I think it was 1979. And, now I realize...I'm old. :(
You are not old...you are WISE. :)
If the Nazareth book is successful, it is possible that I may start on another book to write. Flemington does has a lot of history to it...
