One thing people don't realize that Meyer's was our big time for many years. Before TWS came around Meyer's was the biggest and fastest thing we had ever seen down here. Those old dirt tracks we banged around on were nothing in comparison. I know the first time I made a lap on there it would take my breath for a couple of laps. It was the closest thing to Darlington in our eyes. Then I made my first trip with my ride out to Golden Gate Speedway, with Lee Cade down in Cigar City (Tampa) on a Friday night. I swear those banks had to be like Bristol. I couldn't believe what I was seeing and feeling. Those were back in the lap-belt days and my dad rigged me up a tether that tie off to the left side to help he stay in the seat. Golden Gate Speedway was smooth, and that was won thing about Meyers, it was anything but. It had those whoop tee doos down the straight that would unload the springs and made setting the car in the corner an art. I still say hands down, Bill White was the best at it. He didn't run Meyers as much as the Burton's and Wooley's and the rest of us, but when Wild Bill unloaded you knew you were in for a long day, mostly looking at the back of that deuce. And to sit behind him and watch his approach to the turn and the line he took, and then get the gonads enough to try and mimic him, would wind yourself in the pit letting your best friend Kent Lewis assist you in extricating the seat cushion from your backside. I am to this day and always will be in awe of Wild Bill White. He was always nice to me, and I was just a punk kid trying to run with the big boys. I know AJ fairly well, and he was too intense and a hot head to get along with sometimes, but that was just AJ. He's mellowed some over the years, and a whole lot sweeter, and he was as good a driver as ever been, I just wonder though what Bill would have been if Tony Foyt was his father and he had the same opportunities that AJ Had. I have got to get up to Temple to see Bill sometime. TBird sees him pretty regular, and boy am I jealous.
