14spnt Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Sticking with sprints, what was the name of the driver of the 44 outlaw sprint. He was a local guy who ran with 12 Mcdermot and the 52 S. Laney car at big h. All i can remeber of him is that he won a whole lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightmoves 99 Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Maybe Ricky Allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGM357 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Not to change the subject. What number was Ricky Lee Tankersley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14spnt Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 When he drove for Gibson he was in the 55 car. I know he drove others but thats the one that comes to mind for me. I think and I could be wrong but his kid may be driving ascs. At least they carry the same last name and there can't be to many Tankerlseys around.

Bobby Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 ..I think and I could be wrong but his kid may be driving ascs. At least they carry the same last name and there can't be to many Tankerlseys around. Â That is correct, Channin Tankersly is Ricky's son, according to announcers at the ASCS races. Ricky Lee has also wheeled the car on occasion, and he is as fast as his son, perhaps more so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twren Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Ricky and dad used to race side by side a bunch at Big H. Dad always joked about Ricky being a high man and he would be on the bottom all of the time. That was some good races during that time. A little touch every now and then, which was expected at those speeds and close racing. The good ole days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champkrt1 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 champkart1 you are correct...David Kulhanak used to dress up as a clown....if my memory serves me correctly he only did that once at Big H...he was a regular attaction at the thrill show in the Astrodome...he also drove the #56 Texas Super Sprinter... sometimes called ole silver tooth..........he would run around the floor of the dome doing doughtnuts in the dirt ,in a go-kart, between acts...........Denny Burton hasn't built any drag cars in 10 years...he keeps up asphalt late models for T Wade Welch and still races occasionally...but he's "old" and slow........Gingerbreadman aka Denny Burton   Hey Reb! See, I wasnt totally out of my mind! Now, about them little voices, anyway. David put on a great show for the fans, its was always a great time when he would come down to Mcallen.

champkrt1 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 All this talk about Houston Drivers from back in the 80's and nobody mentioned Aylor? WOW! Love him or hate him, he was darn fast and had great equiptment. Over the past year I have ran into him a few times, while he may not be behind the wheel, he is still heavily involved in racing!

Glad to here somebody mention Jerry I had heard that he was in prison!! Glad to hear that wasnt true. He did have some fast cars or maybe it was just him that was fast. One thing I do know he would put a knot on your head in a second if he felt you done him wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
