Will do ! You’re in Mooresville ? We are like 2 blocks from the Baseball Stadium. ‘66 ? Ned Jarret Won that Year IIRC ? We went the first Year I was here and that was 2012 Raintona, complete with JPM crashing into the parked Jet Dryer in Turn 3. We left the Parking Lot at 02:15 because 2 People failed to plan ahead and take a spare day off. We were BEAT when We got here.

No. I live near Ma Barker’s house. They moved it across the lake a couple of years ago. The property was too valuable for an empty old house. Yet it’s still vacant. They recreated the shootout every year. If I’d gone to school with Glenn Jarrett when I was young, I would have chased him down and never let him get away. The only track, old and new, in the east I haven’t been to is Talladega, and I’m seriously considering taking my grandsons before I’m too old. On my bucket list. I’m so old I remember Fireball Roberts, and that Ned pulled him out of a burning car at Darlington, and he died of his injuries on the 4th of July. I’ve probably forgotten more about NASCAR than most people will ever know.
