Another Link

ANOTHER NEW BLOG

Tickled to death to see another new webpage on local racing. This one is put together by no less than George Hill, who used to drive the 38 Special at the Nor-Way Pines, and was a teammate of Royal Moses. It's called NH Short Track Heroes, and the link to it is over there on the side. Just in case:

There. Don't say you couldn't find it.

It's a good one, too. George has taken the time and done the legwork, and it really shows. It's an impressive effort, of the type I wish I could have done here. I am so glad that so many people have gone to the trouble to preserve the history of racing in the Northeast and in New Hampshire in particular. Thanks from the bottom of my heart to George, Billy Moses, and everybody who has opened their hearts, their memories, and their photo albums to each of us.

Which reminds me; Ralph Stygles loaned his photos to George, so you're going to start seeing those on his website soon if not already. And I'm sure he'd be grateful to anyone who can identify some of the people, cars, and places that he's having trouble with.

For example, there's a photo on the Legion Bowl page of a purple five-window coupe, number 574? That is Tommy Richardson of Canaan, NH. You're welcome. I might have a couple more for ya, too.

So with another racing season beginning, and me being involved at the Big Daddy Speedbowl in Wentworth, I'm going to try real hard to post more stuff here. I think I've about used up all the decent pictures that I've got, so I'll let Billy and George take care of that end and just share my boring stories.
