HORSEPOWER Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 I know txtom and fryar fan can answer your questions. I know he had a brother named Harold killed in a racing accident, don't know what their dad's name is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FryarFan Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 The first one is Freddy's. This car was run at Daytona in the Permatex 300 races run in conjunction with the 500. Another pic of one of Freddy's Permatex cars is on the Bobby Allison site under historical photos. Harold was Freddy's older brother. Killed during a race when a driveshaft came off a car and entered the car and struck him. It started the use of drive shaft loops also called Fryar loops. Oh, and their father's name was Elmo, they lived in Chattanooga. Billy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txtom Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Fryarfan is right on his post. Might add that Harold Fryar was killed at a dirt track in Gadsden, Alabama. Freddy has another brother, Bobby, that raced for some years. Bobby has a son, Tim, who raced some in the Southern All Stars series, and some of the Southeast independent shows. Good looking, well prepared cars, The last race I remember him in was the 2003 Snowball, where he crashed early. I saw Freddy at the first SLM race at SAS this year; he is living near Branson Missouri, was helping a kid named Hal Martin, a raw rookie who purchased all of Jason Smith's SLM equipment.

SASPEEDRACER24 Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 In talking to Freddy Fryar this weekend at TMS he hinted that he is willing to get back in a car sometime since he has a new helmet and firesuit... It was interesting how he would explain his trek across the country. If you ever get the time and the Hal Martin car is there go down and talk to him its almost as good as talking to Txtom...hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txtom Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 If you think Fryar is interesting to listen to about how he raced, ask him about how he "chased". Racing, or chasing, he was legendary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SASPEEDRACER24 Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 It was real interesting how he won so many championships at a ton of tracks and how if he won at one he decided it was time for a new track and went on to list tracks all over from Texas to Tennessee...

HORSEPOWER Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Hey Marc, I looked to see if he was around and I talked to Hal, but didn't ask for him. I guess I didn't look long enough. He is actually from Tennessee, so maybe from Tennessee to Texas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
