ahhh, the memories of personal cars. one of my favorite was when i was 18 yrs old. i bought a monte carlo from a family friend. i assumed it just had a 350. but when i went to look at it, i about crapped when under the hood was a 454. man, we had a lot of fun tearing up the roads in that. i couldn't hardly pay them quick enough. it took awhile to get all the carbon blowed out of the 4 barrel. but when we did..............

Peoria Speedway on Farmington Road? It is still a big draw on Friday and Saturday nights. I used to be there a lot in the 70's when I worked with/built bodies for a couple of racers. I lived in Springfield and worked, Shaheen's in Springfield, (defunct) Macon County Speedway, Tom Knowles, (Canton, IL), Granite City IL, Alton IL, and several others.

What were some of the names around when you were a participant?

i guess i have been out here about 28 years. time does go by fast. but when i ran there some of the drivers were strube bros,jerry rodell,les snow,ron weeden,ray guss sr.herb shannon,don bolander. i set here thinking about the names wondering how many are still around. i never was a big name but had just as much fun. i think the most famous person i raced was johnnie beauchamp which was a blast. there are probley more names that will crop up during the day.

Aww, shucks. Why do I feel "picked on" again?
