What racer has been driving the longest ?
 

My last thread (who has been racing the same car the longest) was alot of fun. And, it really gave folks a chance to reflect on some of the pioneers of class racing. Hopefully, it provided some due respect for a job well done!
Now lets switch gears, and talk about the man behind the wheel. WHO HAS BEEN DRIVING THE LONGEST? Same car, or any combination of cars/classes will work. Continous competition, or with a break from driving (ie. raise a family, busy with work, health, money etc.) The driver that could not resist mashing the pedal down the quarter mile! Come on guys, it's time for a little history part two. A few names that come to mind are: Bobby Warren, Ken Montgomery, you get the idea. Lets show respect, and give thanks to the ones that paved the way! Don't leave them out, put their name here! They all count!

Around here, that would be Jimmy Bridges, John Livingston, and Sonny Elliott, who retired at the end of 2008. That's just three off the top of my head.

Bob Reed, Arlen Vanke, to name a couple, but I don't know if they are still racing.
I always liked Dickie Ogles, but he retired a few years ago.

Jim, I think I saw Dickie Ogles driving a Corvette in Super Stock in 2009 at Bowling Green.


There's always that Woodro Josey guy, that crotchety old fart is older than dirt. :D

Glad to hear Dickie was back driving, I knew he sold his car to Art Wilkerson.
I always liked the name he had on that car "Silly Bear".
Al Provoast is semi-retired. Cal Method and Chuck Norton have been at it for a while too.
Until just recently Harry Holton was still behind the wheel on occasion.
