Jim-----People don't believe me when I tell them that . When they had those races there you were treated like royalty. Rosining the track like Ronny Sox was booked in. The amount of spectators was unbelievable and knowledgeable about what was going on. I remember Sonny Shipmon paying me in cash fives tens and twenties from a wad that would choke a horse. Said he had a great turnout thanked me for coming and then had a big black dude that barely fit in my truck escort me out. Can't believe it's come to this.
