Geoff Bodine My favorite for years in the late 80's giving it back to Earnhardt! "New Yorker" As myself and in the Army stationed at Ft. Stewart Ga and only really gone to races in person at local DIRT Tracks in Central Ny before. Going to Daytona, Darlington, "Hot" Atlanta and cheering on #5 yellow and white car Levi Garrett car. OOOOOOOOOOO what a time!!!! Before that I only saw NASCAR on TV. Since, I have been to Charolette, Loudon, and yearly to the Glen. Got to get to Bristol and the "Dega", yet though.

Having someone like Geoff win in Winston cup that came from the north east as a modified driver to go south and win some big cup races and at that time beat the southerners meant something.

Hey Kenny, the Guinness book of records is 55 modified wins in (One Season). Bodine had elite pure driving talent! He could win at any track from Martinsville(4) and North Wilkesboro(3) to Pocono(3) Dover, Charlotte and Michigan to Daytona where he dominated most of the race in 1986. Has four road course wins, Riverside, Sonoma and two wins at The Glen.

When I was a teen used to go to Lancaster, Spencer, Fulton (my fave!), the occasional Oswego Mod races all the time with my father watch the modifieds. Dad was personal friends with Don Whalen who drove the #05 always a Candy Cane paint job. I was a big Evans fan, my brother loved Geoff, my sister was a R. Treichler fan and Dad, Don Whalen and Troyer. So was like we had this inside family feud as all those drivers so talented and BOY HOWDY they put on show! We'd a slot car track pretend we were our favorite drivers. When Geoff took to the Cup Cars he became my Dad's favorite and mine of course that after Maynard Troyers Daytona cartwheeling. Hopefully Geoff read this because... Geoff the racing you did back then in the Modified Sportsman cars was so intense to watch week after week. Geoff, Ritchie, Maynard were really a BIG part of my growing up and our family watching those guys putting on the ragged edge week after week. So intense! Great times for my family, best of times really.

Talking about vintage... While at work today trying to figure out whose house we are going to watch opening weekend and what we will be eating and drinking. The question came up, Konch, who is your all time favorite driver, Im 63, I said Cale. That question started a fury of thought in my head. Joliet has been closed for way to long and last years race downtown, for me, was the best, even in the rain. If this makes sense, I love down town - I hate the city. Downtown has a lot of yuppies that just dont know what a hard days work is. They say the race made the city money. Well, I came up with the idea - The bears are moving to the suburbs, that leaves Soldiers Field vacant. That place holds like 65000 people. Why not bring racing back to the old girl. My dad had taken me back in the day to watch racing at soldier field. Yes, they raced inside soldiers field way before LA Clash This is just a thought BRISTOL IN CHICAGO

Craig Rd & The Speedrome have come & went and now We have 2 Cup Races at an amazing complex with a beautiful Bull Ring LVMS Billy Harper even Won best paint scheme out at Riverside in 85 or 86 with that scheme but the sponsor was Unlce Billy’s SweetWater in the same calligraphy Beautiful Ride He ran that scheme for a few years Then His last scheme was an all orange red with white 5 & SweetWater and then He sold that ride & was done That was around 87-88 That last ride was SO COOL It was the newest updated body style at that time It was like the Days of Thunder Rides the beginning of that time frame.

Another memory and I don't know if Geoff was there, probably. At Lancaster small short track Buffalo NY thereabouts way they'd a night where families kids get a ride around the track w/ a driver. I'd a go around w/ Evans you're just kinda packed in holding on to roll bar. Was like the crowning moment of life back then LOL. I got ride around with Don Whalen of course, my dads friend and then there was Troyer. He and Whalen, bunch of all buddies, I never knew at the time we come home go to bed and Dad go out to little bar quarter mile down the road and bunch of pound down beers. Anyways, I get in Troyer ride and he didn't exactly take it slow. OH MY GOSH. Here I am 12, 13 years old basically scared to say a word to any driver I'm more in reverence of them and whilst Troyer surely wasn't hot footing it was fast enough where I was holding the roll cage of dear life. I remember him Whalen and my father laughin' it up as my terror subsided.
