They sure did. I was there. I'm old. Not as old as Dedman.

Ed,

Are you bragging or complaining?

When did you race at Carlisle, and did you ever race at the Little Rock strip (the one on I-30, just South of Little Rock (defunct for a long time, now.)???

I worked the Stocker tech line at both strips, but not after '63. I moved away in '64.

Raced them both, but after '64. Little rock was the first, and for a long time only, 1/8th mile track I ever ran. Thought 1/8th mile sucked then, still do. Ran Carlisle a lot.

I was a gone gosling by the time you got to my old stomping ground. Bob Thompson, Tommy Taylor, and I THINK, Bob Ayers worked Stocker Tech at LIttle Rock, but it was still a 1/4-mile facility, when I left.

Two fatalities in about three years (people running off the end of the short, GRAVEL, shutdown area) probably precipitated that. No such problem at Carlisile... lol!

Vance Hunt used to come up from Dallas and run his Top Fuel car 180mph+, at Little Rock, but never seemed to have a problem, stopping...
