Heres a question.  4 people have ran my dads patented silver and red combination at SMS including myself.  Can you name the other 3.  If someone gets this I'll buy them something to eat at the next race I see them.  I'd be impressed if someone got this.  (PS) these were not one race deals.  They were ran durring the full season. mama68 is not eligiable for this prize.

Actually I'll give you a hint, because even mama68 couldnt get it.

One of the drivers ran the same year as my dad and finished 3rd in the championship season.  Not the late model season however.

ALL

Don't know about pocock, but the Mick is correct about the other two.

But does anyone know WHO Pocock is and what kind of car did he drive? (Other than BIlly and Sandie)

Late Model #42 in the late 70's early 80's Redd and White 57 Chevy #42 was Arley and Ron Scranton, but that would have been early-mid 70's Maybe 73,74 or 75)

What year did Danny run a AMC Javelin body?
(I don't remember what year it was...)  

Question for Billy (Who was the guy who's firesuit looked like a RODEO Clown that drove your dads car?)

What FATHER of a CURRENT Nextel Cup Driver drove one of Danny's cars at a race at OILDALE

Franey was HSChamp '82..and won a SCCA Championship in '93

The AMC was 1980 and mama68 stacked that car in the wall during a drivers wife race.  Cut a couple tires as well.  

Heres a question.  One year (1976ish) my dad won a trophy dash.  They use to present the trophy to all the drivers in front of the crowd.  The highlight of the trophy dash's was drivers really laying it on the trophy girls and the fans would cheer like a Happy Days live studio audience.  Anyway, one night the track had to make a last minute substitution for a trophy girl.  Can anyone guess who was the substitution my dad tried to lay a kiss on in front of the fans!??  I have a photo for this one..

Yo Billy, you mispelled that, it was stuffed not stacked...lol

according to the old progams i have it states that he was the '83 champ. but i would almost bet that a guy would not forget the year he won a championship. lol

the girl looks like one of the payne girls. toni? don't know who the dude is

Tim, Robert did win the championship in '82, he got his first one the year after i got my first one.

Steve Vogt is correct...

I can't believe the almighty Franey could have been wrong about his OWN championship...too funny

I remember racing with Randy, I think it was 1986. This is why I don't like the format in the yearbook. Everyone that races should be listed regardless of how many points they earned. Its fun to look back and remember.

I don't know what year the last one was..but the year my dad ran in it..he had a 50,000 candle power spot light that light the track up bright...and Graham Pocock running his 'cuda had a magnetic flashlight that fell off going into turn one.  Graham was FLYING around the outside of everyone up against the wall... (Which is how he normally drove that thing anyway)

They also called it "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere" race I believe.
