To check out more about Dirt track racing and my old old Man. Head over to
http://www.ablindsite.com This is my home page and there you will find a link to a memorial for Big Dick. INside you will find racing links. If you have any links that you would link on this page let me know and I will check it out. There is a great story about a figure 8 race in the rain. in ther. I would look to post old pitchers of classical dirt track racing on the page. I would like the pictures to star in the 1970 and go back from there. A blurb to go along with the piture to us blind race fans could enjoy the page with your friends and familly.
