Old Farts Bench Racers Club

r resident historian ) had a idea of bringing a few of us Dirt Track enthusiast that had been communicating through Face Book for over a year together for lunch. He called asking me if I could help organize his idea and find us a place to gather for lunch. He had invited Marc Madison, Don Nixon, Frank Hobbs along with myself and himself and the 5 of us meet at " The Bulls Pen " off of Hwy 80 and East Fork Road for lunch. Well we ate and bench raced for a couple of hours then going outside to continue for better part of hour more. We agreed that this was something we wanted to make a tradition out of doing and agreed to grow this into a event for all those in the dirt track racing community past and present. We was originally going to do this 3 to 4 times a year but have come to realize that it is not feasible during the racing season. So we have narrowed it down to just before the season and right after the season.We moved our 2nd luncheon reunion and all future luncheon reunions to Circle Grill ... which is more accessible and has been in it's location for many years. A lot of the old racers would either meet there or next door at the old " Stagecoach Restaurant " after the races was over at the " Old Devil's Bowl " . Plus everyone knows where Young Chevrolet is so Circle Grill being right behind it would be easy to find. Circle Grill also welcomes our group for they have the back room to host us. ....... Now on to where we are headed..... We want to make this the premier event in North Texas ... why ... because we are trying to help showcase and preserve our Dirt Track Racing History here in our area. A lot of the Older Farts have so much history and stories to tell and share along with photos, print and newspaper articles. Don Cook has been on a mission for years to do just this and has attended a couple of our reunions and has photo documented these items that you the racers have brought to share with the group. At this time I want to thank our administrative secretary Diane Sanders for all her work and dedication in our efforts. At this time She and I ( Santa Bob McMasters ) are your administrators for the group. We have set up a E-Mail account for the group. [email protected] Feel free to comment .. share ideas and contact us with any and all questions you may have. PLEASE HELP SPREAD OUR GROUP AND OUR LUNCHEON REUNION DATES AND BE SURE AND ADD ANYONE YOU KNOW WITH THE LOVE OF DIRT TRACK RACING IN OUR AREA AND BEYOND.
