First time I met Wesley, I set the record at Houma, and he watched Red check me out. Just a quiet kid then. You don't have to wonder what he's thinking now. Lmao

Re: red anderson passes.
RIP. Red was a great Div.4 techman. If Red like you, you knew. If he didn't,well you most likely was the cause. RIP my friend.

Really sad to here this Red and Dale will surely be missed. Red, Dale and Chuck really were the "Good Guys" of div. 4.

Re: red anderson passes.
Your exactly correct Bobby. Red was really sharp. Machined a lot of his cam checking fixtures himself at a freind's machine shop. Very talented man. And you are right, if he didn't like you it was because you had given him a reason. He didn't have much use for guys he caught cheating. He was a good man.

Re: red anderson passes.
I think Red made most of the special checking tools most tech guys used for checking cams,deck etc.He gave me a scare one time when i drove 1000 plus miles to race in Div.4 when he told me if i could not produce my membership card, i was going home!!!

Re: red anderson passes.
Racers in Heaven will be treated fairly but better get their s**t straight and play by the rules with Chuck, Red, and Dale up there. Red used his sterness to make sure you were never tempted to cross the line. We will allways remember them.
