For Jim Fenton....

[ancrdave]

Jim was talking about his infamous "spin" during a big race at West Palm several years ago... Guess what Freight Train... I was there that day taking pics from the grandstands!! Did a good job of coming back from that though... Also a shot of Jim racing with Dan Daughtry in Morris Davis' Ford...

WOW! That's amazing. I hardly have any shots of our trips outside of the Tampa Bay area back then so I appreciate the opportunity to see some.

Dan was a great guy. Alot of folks didn't get along with him due to his aggressiveness but I always liked him and got along well with him. I just ran across some articles & pics of Dan while rummaging through some old programs a while ago.

Kudos to you ancrdave for keeping history alive around here with your posts & pics. I for one really enjoy them.

Yep Fenton

U R right about Dave... he's been around for a VERY long time and keeping us all current with OLD pics and the sort.

Hell, I remember him announcing when I was a mere lad... I must have been 5 or 6 the first time I remember him up in the booth doin his thing... and he hasn't changed a bit since then either..

Dave is definitely amazing. I met him this Friday and he is a class act and a gentleman.

Even took a picture of me by my car

I wonder?

I wonder if Jim remembers they made him cut his push bars off the front bumper?

[Jim Fenton]

You mean these?



Naw...I don't remember.

(BTW...those weren't "push" bars. They were "keep out" bars to keep people out of the radiator that kept backing into me in the corners)
