A piece of Longhorn history

Recommended Posts

A piece of Longhorn - literally - is in this pic of Tommy Davis' LM. Tommy hung off the track in one and two (the fast way around in those days) and heard a noise, but didn't pay any attention until he got home and found the piece of the track wedged in the right front.

 

Not sure what year that was, but was probably in the late 80's...

Nick - I've got a piece of PAS in my posession. I know it sounds sick, but I have so many great memories there and in Austin, I can't even think about parting with it. Someday I'll hang it on the wall and everyone here in Eau Claire, Wisconsin will think I've lost my mind.

Didn't get a chance to run Longhorn, but ran at PAS in a streeter. I ran a '65 Olds Jetstar 88 flawlessly for 150 laps (like the Fiesta 150 they use to run at PAS). The very next night, I ran my stepmother's Honda Prelude in the turn 4 fence (you know, the CONCRETE wall). Needless to say, my father wasn't real pleased the next morning. FYI, the Packers stink - I'm a Cowboys fan......

Go Pack. Sorry 'horse, I've been chasing drunk goats back to city hall. ;) Don't need 'em around here now that I'm retired from public life.
