Merril Schrimsher has his beautiful 66 Chevy II up for sale. Paul Forte has not run his car in quite a long while. My buddy Jay Slane has had some health issues that have kept him from racing much for the past 3 years. He is recovering from knee replacement surgery right now and hopes to be back out racing some later in the year. Haven't seen John Douglas racing in a few years and he was a die hard racer. Not sure what happened to John. Tony Conte still has his SS/AS Camaro but he has not been racing much either. Probably close to retiring seeing he is in his late 70's.
I am sure it is similar in Stock but I don't keep up with them as much.

Rebel Kidd has not retired from racing, I think you may see him out very soon with his car, just a rumor though......

Thanks I figured that was the case. Hope he is enjoying life.

My overhead door guy told me last summer he sees more race cars mothballed in garages than those that are still being campaigned

[QUOTE=Jim Wahl;606547]Kenny is one of the nicest and talented racers you could ever know and we miss seeing him race down here in D2. I hope he is doing well. His car was one of our favorites too!

Kenny has a very busy work schedule and I am sure it is hard to go to the track after losing his father.
