Well... I was beat to the punch. I saw the reply last night and planned on posting the pics on here today. Thanks for posting them though...

Thank you very much, Jim. 'Preciate it

Ya know, my dad never really did tell me how bad Bryan had gotten hurt. I think he may have been too upset to talk about it at the time, that one of his drivers got hurt in "his" car. Dad didn't actually own the car (Bob Kirk was the owner), but Dad was the crew chief and we parked the car at our house every week.

It's been years, but we stayed at Bryan's house more than a few times when we were racin' at St. Pete I couldn't remember Bryan's wife's name (but now see that it's Jackie...LOLOLOL...), and since I was the teenager (and closer to 40 now than 20...LOLOLOLOLOL) in the crew on the "Silver Bullet" and the red #12, I can't for the life of me remember Bryan's kid's name... I do know that I used to push him around the driveway in the stroller.... How old are ya now, kid? How's Bryan doin' these days?

Good to hear from all you old-timers!

How's Bryan doin' these days?

If you're referring to Bryan Sr., Bryan passed away from a heat stroke while working on the job in Tampa twelve days prior to the 9-11 attacks on August 30, 2001.

Bryan's son that you remember pushing around in the driveway is named Bryan Jr., and is who started this thread.
