Mostly
Racin’ Stuff – Volume #251 - May 12, 2016
By TOM AVENENGO
OK, I’ve been to quite a few races in my lifetime,
starting out by going to watch the midgets with my father, back in 1946, when I
was 9 years old. I’ve attended some pretty big events here in the
US. As an example, the 12 hours of Sebring, back in 1957, with my
brother, “Jim”. Indy cars at Darlington, with my father and brother, in
1951. Eventually I was old enough to go to some racing events on my own –
tracks like Trenton and Langhorne, for midget, sprint cars and Indy car
races. Eventually, my sons, Tom Jr and Eric became race drivers.
Nothing really “big time”, mind you, but “local” racing. Both started out
in Karts, then Tom had a street stock and Eric followed suit, starting out in
Karts, then he had a modified for a little while, and then he had a Micro
Sprint for his son, Brett to race. With the “dying out” of midgets and
sprint cars, we took up going to the track in Middletown, N.Y. to attend the
stock car races.
The column photo of one car that was quite a “looker”.
Above is one car (Modified) that I really liked.
The “a1” was normally driven by the late Eddie Haenelt. I dunno, but I
think we’d be better off if today’s cars were similar in appearance.
Notice how you can see the driver? Oh, well, I guess those days are gone
forever, huh?
So, it kinda looks like there were a few problems with my
column last week. The two photos I had in it, even though they were in
the column when I sent it, just did not appear, so I resent them. Hopefully,
things have been straightened out, now. Well, my column did get posted on
May 6th, after a few problems – at least it’s been posted on Dirt Track Digest,
and later on on the New England Tractor’s website. I did notice that one
photo did not make it though – the one that shows Mike Nazaruk’s wrecked sprint
car when he was fatally injured at Langhorne, back on 5/1/55. So. I’ll
try posting it again, in this week’s column. Here it is.
Somehow, I think he either hit the fence with his right rear, or might have had
a blown tire. As you can see, his right rear tire is no longer on his
right rear wheel.
Interesting news. I wonder what will happen?
Kerry, Teresa Earnhardt in battle over last name: Teresa
Earnhardt, known for being staunchly protective of the Dale Earnhardt brand and
marks, is trying to keep a couple from using “Earnhardt” in the name of homes
they developed. That couple? Dale Earnhardt’s son Kerry Earnhardt and Kerry’s
wife, Rene. Teresa Earnhardt, Kerry’s stepmother and Dale’s widow, doesn’t want
the couple to use the name Earnhardt Collection and filed an appeal last week
in federal court over a U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ruling that denied
Teresa’s challenge to the “Earnhardt Collection” trademark applied for by Kerry
Earnhardt Inc.
“Rene and I have worked extremely hard to develop the
Earnhardt Collection brand and make it uniquely ours,” Kerry Earnhardt said in
a statement to ESPN.com “I chose to leave a successful career in racing and
could not be happier with what we’ve been able to achieve in the five years
we’ve been building our home lifestyle brand inspired by our love of the
outdoors.”
Teresa Earnhardt didn’t testify in the [trademark] case
but states in her appeal that the name Earnhardt Collection is likely to
deceive or cause confusion among people that the homes and products are
endorsed by Dale Earnhardt or by her. Kelley Earnhardt-Miller, daughter of Dale
and second wife Brenda Jackson, testified that no one has confused the
Earnhardt Collection of being associated with her brother, Dale Earnhardt Jr.(ESPN.com)(5-7-2016)
Jeff Gordon publishing first authorized
biography: Jeff Gordon, four-time NASCAR Cup Series champion and current
FOX NASCAR broadcast analyst, is publishing his first-ever authorized biography
in October. “I purposely waited until I retired from driving so the book would
encompass my entire career,” says Gordon. “People are going to be able to read
about me like they’ve never read about me before.” The authorized biography,
“Jeff Gordon: His Dream, Drive & Destiny” is being written by Joe Garner,
the five-time New York Times bestselling author of such popular hardcover
collections as “And The Crowd Goes Wild” and “100 Yards of Glory.” Gordon and
Garner first worked together in 2006 on the multimedia book titled “Speed,
Guts, & Glory,” about landmark moments in NASCAR history. Garner was given
unprecedented access. “What truly impressed me in the making of this book is
the time Jeff invested. There are so many books with very little time invested
by the drivers, but Jeff gave me unparalleled access at the race track, at
special events – and at his home – over the past 15 months,” says Garner. The
book is based on those extensive interviews with Gordon – as well as in-depth
interviews with dozens of family members, friends, competitors, and colleagues,
some of whom have never gone on the record before. “He put nothing off-limits
and encouraged the people to speak honestly,” says Garner. “And Jeff speaks
candidly, sometimes brutally so, about his childhood, his much publicized
divorce, those he competed against, his family, and life after racing.” “Jeff
Gordon: His Dream, Drive & Destiny” is scheduled to be released on October
18th, 2016.(JeffGordon.com)(5-6-2016)
Note: I wonder if he’ll make any mention of just
what caused him to no longer drive sprint cars and/or midgets, anymore?
Take a guess where?
Interesting stuff. There is one reason for the race
to be held at any track away from the New York area.
Hmm, kinda looks like some hands are tied with this,
above.
The article starts off with this: CONCORD, N.C. —
The 45th annual NAPA
Auto Parts Super DIRT Week is scheduled Oct. 5-9 at Central New York Raceway
Park.
Question is – will that new facility be ready? Of
course “Mother Nature” has to be on our side, if it is.
Some interesting news, which I imagine most of us didn’t
expect to see this soon:

Kindly help Bob Beidleman and family:
A fellow racer is in need of help. Bob Beidleman of
Walnutport, PA is suffering from GBM brain cancer stage 4. glioblastoma
multiform brain cancer is highly aggressive. In January, Bob was taken to the
emergency room for what was thought to be carbon monoxide poisoning. This day
forever changed Bob’s life along with his wife Cindy and their children Bobbi,
Cole, and Tori. On January 25 Bob underwent surgery to remove a large mass on
the right side of his brain. During the surgery Bob suffered a mild stroke
because the tumor had wrapped around a main artery in his brain. Bob was
hospitalized from January 25th through March 11th and during that time also
developed a blood clot in his lungs and in his legs.
In the month after surgery another significant tumor formed behind where the
initial tumor resection was done. Bob currently is undergoing chemotherapy and
radiation that will continue for six more weeks and then after a four week
break he will have an MRI to see if anything has grown and then he will begin
six months of double chemotherapy treatments.
For those of you who are not familiar with Bob’s history, Bob’s grandfather and
Charlie Sacks were partners in owning a sprint car driven by Eddie Sacks.
They raced in the Penn Jersey circuit now known as the URC. Bob’s
grandfather wanted one of his grandsons to race and Bob was the only willing
and capable one. Bob began drag racing in a 1957 Chevy and then moved on to
race a late model at Dorney park between the ages of 15 and 17. Bob’s
grandfather then put him in his sprint car. Bob carried on driving sprint cars
in his grandfathers memory and in all honesty, the thought of being able to
race again is what has kept him fighting.
Bob has applied for disability but because he worked up
to two weeks prior to being admitted he must wait five months to receive his
first disability payment. The family is without income and is in need of our
help. They are currently in need of gas money to get to the doctors
appointments for Bob and for Cindy to take care of their children. The family
needs groceries and to pay mortgage payments and utilities.
Bob’s prognosis is not good but he is fighting. If you
can find it in your heart please donate to Bob and his family. You can do so by
either sending it directly to them at the address of 1039 Municipal Rd.,
Walnutport, PA 18088 or by donating on the go fund me page.

A few racing results from this past weekend. Sad to
say, “Mother Nature” wasn’t too friendly towards the racing up in the
northeast, with a lot of rain outs and only a few races where some former OVRP
racers were at.
Danny Creeden was 6th in the modified feature at Thunder
Mountain.
At 5 Mile, Brad Szulewski was 3rd and Anthony Perrego 5th
at 5 Mile in the modified feature. In the sportsman feature, Kyle Rohner
was 2nd
At OCFS:
Modifieds: LJ Lombardo was 7th, Billy V 10th (in
small block, I believe), Matt Janiak 12th, Mike Ruggerio 13th and Brendan Finley
22nd.
Small blocks: Tom Hindley 4th, Brian Krummel 5th, Joe
Falanga 8th, Zack Vavricka 20th, Tim Hindley 21st and Matt Janiak 23rd.
Sportsman: Joe Conklin 4th, Anthony Falanga 10th,
Jimmy Johnson 13th, Johnny Illanovsky 21st and Joey Falanga 25th.
CRSA Sprints: Briuan Krummel 3rd, Bobby Hackel IV
9th, Chuck Alessi 12th, Emily VanInwegen 14th, Tyler Jashembowski 19th
and Billy V 20th.
Note: It was young Haskel’s first time in a sprint
car, in competition.
Lebanon Valley:
Modifieds: Tyler Dipple won the feature. Kyle
Armstrong was 7th and Kolby Schroder was 14th.
Lincoln (Pa) Speedway:
Joe Kata III took a tumble in Hot Laps at Lincoln
Speedway on 5-7-16. They were able to get his car ready for the feature,
and he ended up15th.
Tiffany Wambold was 10th in the Hobby Stock feature at
Mahoning.
Kyle Redner was 3rd in the Sportsman feature at Bethel.
At Hamlin, Tyler Pirone was 4th in the All Star Slingshot
feature, while Danny Buccafusca was 2nd in the Wingless 600 Micro feature.
Ben Whitaker was 3rd un the 358 LM feature at
Susquehanna.
Note: As you more than likely know, the results
that I have in my columns, like those above, are basically from those that had
run Karts & Slingshots at OVRP’s Dirt Oval. There are some that have
driven on the paved road course/courses that are now running stock cars on
pavement.
A little about Jeff Heotzler:
He is one of the three drivers that have won 50 or more
modified features at OCFS, with Brett Hearn and Frankie Schneider being the
other two. Jeff is the only driver to have won 50 features at OCFS and
also at Accord.
He also has 21 small block feature wins at OC.
He has not had a full time modified ride at OC since
2007.
As I said above, I started going to the races back in
1946. Here are some midget racing results from June, 1947, from up in the
Northeast:

Almost 50 races during June of 1947. This is only
for NJ, NY, PA, CT, MA & CT. There were other Midget races down in
VA, too.
Keep in mind – there was no Interstate Highway system
back then, and speeds were lower on the highways – well except for those that
towed the race cars!

Heotzler who registered his 50th Orange County career Modified win this
past Saturday. The season’s other two Modified features were won by Bob
McGannon and Tommy Meier. With Higbie, along with nearly two-dozen other
Modified drivers, still looking for their first 2016 victory, the Twin-20s race

A photo of 4
midgets on one trailer – Ken Hickey’s trailer.
A little on Mr. Hickey that I picked up on Facebook:
He was the service manager at lake ford. This guy had his
car in for repair and couldn’t pay bill. The guy had I think 2 midgets. They
also needed work. Traded the cars and trailer and Ken paid the bill on his
regular car. Then fixed the midgets and raced them and won and it went on
From there. By late 50s had 8 or so. Would run all in a feature sure to win.
Made lots of $$$. Was buying new Lincolns 2 at a time cash in the 50s.
He was a very smart guy.
He had all that knowledge in his head. All the
motor specs. For Offys and Indy cars. Did complete motor jobs from memory. All
the tolerances.
Amazing guy and I’m sure Jimmy had his hands in it.
Sounds like a good story for a book. I seen a lot of good Iron in that shop
when I used to come up. I remember seeing him put those Offy’s together and not
use a torque wrench.
Glenn Donnelly is scheduled to introduce an electric
powered sprint car on May 10th.
Note: Somehow I don’t think this will go over too
good. It’s been tried with a midget or two, and, to be honest, I have yet
to see any electric powered midget racing results.
Found on the Track Forum:
http://www.trackforum.com/forums/showthread.php/202079-Watkins-Glen-race
Reports out there are saying that the cancelled Boston
Indy Car race will be moved to Watkins Glen. Sounds like kinda a good
move, maybe? I just wish that it was an oval, rather than a road course.
Some non-racing stuff:
On occasion, I receive e-mails that I put in my
columns. Here’s one I just got on May 6th:
California – largest insane asylum in the world
Interesting that the LA Times did this. Lou Dobbs reported this on CNN
and it cost him his job. The only network we would see this on would be
FOX. All the others are staying away from it. Whether you are a
Democrat or Republican, this should be of great interest to you!
Just One State – be sure and read the last part… try for
3 times.
This is only one State… If this doesn’t open your eyes,
nothing will!
From the L.A. Times.
(All of the 10 above facts were published in the Los
Angeles Times)
Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but
29% are on welfare. Over 70% of the United States’ annual population
growth, (and over 90% of California, Florida, and New York), results from
immigration. Also, 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.
We are fools for letting this continue.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Send copies of this letter, to at least two other
people. 100, would be even better.
This is only one State…If this doesn’t open your eyes
nothing will, and you wonder why Nancy Pelosi wants them to become voters!
IF YOU DON’T AGREE, JUST DELETE — IF YOU DO PASS IT
ON! WHERE DO WE GET
THESE MORONS?
Windfall Tax on Retirement Income… Adding a tax to
your retirement is simply another way of saying to the American people “you’re
so darn stupid that we’re going to keep doing this until we drain every cent
from you”. Nancy Pelosi wants a Windfall Tax on Retirement Income.
In other words, tax what you have made by investing toward your retirement.
This woman is a nut case! You aren’t going to believe this.
Nancy Pelosi wants to put a Windfall Tax on all stock
market profits (including Retirement fund, 401K and Mutual Funds)!
Alas, it is true – all to help the 12 Million Illegal
Immigrants and other unemployed Minorities!
This woman is frightening. She quotes… ‘We need to work
toward the goal of equalizing income, (didn’t Marx say something like this?) in
our country; and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can
invest. (I’m not rich, are you?)
When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she
replied:
We need to raise the standard of living of our poor,
unemployed and minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal
immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed
minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long way to
guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as
Americans.
(Read that quote again and again and let it sink
in.)’Lower your retirement; give it to others who have not worked, as you have’
for your money. Send this on to your friends. I just did! This lady is out of
her mind!
Remember that Nancy Pelosi is probably one of the richest
people in the United States. Have you read in the news media if she has
split her wealth with the poor? Why do the poor believe people like this?
My thoughts on the above: Why are there so many
“Illegal’s” in our country?
And some other great news: “Illegal Immigrants
don’t pay federal taxes, thanks to the fact that their jobs are, well, illegal.
However, thanks to a new loophole created by President Barack Obama’s pen and
phone, they’ll now be able to get a tax refund.”

Congrats to GM – found on Facebook:
GM has paid 5 million in taxes to the US. GM has
also paid 908 million in taxes to China.
Our “President” says that Christians, Republicans and
conservatives are real threats to America.
Note: With some of the things he’s come out with,
lately, I’d like to know what he’s on.
While none of this implicates Lynch of a conflict of
interest directly, it does raise the serious possibility that a conflict of
interest may exist because her role in Clinton’s affairs while working at Hogan
and Hartson are being questioned.
That’s about it for this week. Seeing how things
go, problem wise with getting it posted, might make my column a tad late next
week.
