Remember a lot of good times with you guys in Va.

Oh come on Dale......Tommy always was retired ! LOL

I looked thru some old pictures I had. I dont remember the BLACK 61 Ford with "Mr. 390" on the door. Just the dark blue 401 HP Star Liner with "Thunder Road" on it. CRS I guess. I was away on an all expense vacation provided by uncle sam in 1966-1969.

Hey, Dan Lattimore, glad to see you're still out there and kickin'.
I only raced at Aquasco one time, and it was the fastest I ever went with the SS/GTA car. Used to like to go to 75-80 with Joe Clark when I had the SS/EA and we would both test because of the good traction - but Aquasco's bite seemed even better. I have been moving around a lot - spent the last 7 years in Central Florida and now I'm in the Raleigh, NC area near my son and grandson, and playing with my Harley-Davidson.

Hey Dave, Glad to see you're still above ground yourself. Lots of fun back then. Joe, Cupp, Bagley and myself still get together during the year and rent MIR often. It feels like old times wearing our stuff and pickin on each other. Cupp and Bagley are in Gainsville and I heard yesterday they ran into each other in the pits. My God can you believe it ! ! I'm trying to get my Pop's permit away from him but he's 87 for heaven's sake !! ---------Danny

Haven't heard from or seen Bagley since I left Fredericksburg - maybe one time shortly afterward when he was at the Marina in Occoquan (spelling ??).
My last race was the Gators in 1990 - seems like yesterday. Went to watch the Gators twice in last last few years and was really disappointed in the Stock and Super Stock classes. Many classes without representation and very few classes with any number of cars in it. That used to be the best part - winning class- from there (Eliminator) it was just like a bracket race.

Here's a link with some photos taken at 'Aquasco Speedway'...maybe someone here will remember some of them.
