Winger Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 when can you post some of these pics of rick, slick, lawerence etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
top_shelf_12 Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 One of these weekends I'll go through the thousands of pics I have from CC Speedway from the 80s and 90s, locals and touring series and most I took as a kid/early teen. Growing up a block away from the Carluccis I have had the racing blood injected since birth. Kaminsky lived in the neighborhood at one time and some others. GB I have a picture of one of the Outlaw Minis I assume is an Evans since it was black and yellow 46 and I have one of a red and orange car forget the number but I thought they were dirt late models or what the super stocks look like now. Anyways we have several pics of Monte Nichols, Slick, Rick, Bruce Sanders, and John Kelly b/c back then the coolest thing in the world was going to their cars after the races and getting to sit in one. Don't see that too much anymore, that and candy giveaways or characters like Elmer Jean throwing bubble gum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragracerkma Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Thats not why he crashed! He went into a turn after takeoff and did not have enough air speed ,so down it went! A local firefighter named Butch Malek was also killed! Sonny was a promoter, you know what i mean? But he would help you anytime you were short ! same as Frank Hoch. Sonny would listen to the racers, even if he did not like what you had to say! He always said racers were a bunch of prima donnas,he was right on. He paid well! When i raced for him I did not agree with the prima donna thing! But 23 years later he had a point!Its what can you do me these days ,it should be what can I do for racing! I miss him. I went to school with sonny's boy william brown. Sonny was a great guy he took me to my first T.R.O.C. in 1980 we took an old motorhome he had and stayed in the infield, back then they had wet t-shirt and beer chuggin contest at night and william and i had a blast watchin those guys and girls. I was 14 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redd35 Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 You want a good riverside story, well here you go. When we all went to the dirt all of us ran our asphalt cars. we were lost, but we thought we were fast! Sonny Brown was a pretty sharp promotor, he liked to bring in a name. So about the third week he brought in Tom Williams from schertz, Texas, that was a legit BIG DOG. Tom was in a 70 chevelle and when practice came he run that car high up the bank wide open! the way they used water the track open big valve and drive around the top ,all the water would right to the bottom. So the bottom was a mudhole! The races started and Tom flew low at the top and the heat easily. he was looking like a sure sweep winner. Well a young asphalt driver figured out that if you tippitoed the mud at the bottom just stay hooked then floored on the straights you would go a shorter distance! Well he smoked the field including Sonnys hired star . he stunk up the show! I hate to admit he thought of it before me! His name Law Mikulencakmajek! The Law was once young and an asphalt racer?

fullview Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) Here's something you might like. Don't have the photo of the real car but this is a slot car I made back in the day. Shouldn't be hard to figure out who drove the real wedge car. CC Riverside, 83 or 84 I believe Edited April 19, 2014 by fullview Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

top_shelf_12 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 It is. Don't know why they turned when I posted them but yes the last one is Tommy Temple's car, couldn't tell you who he bought it from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinedvl1982 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Yeah I remember him saying it was monty nichols old late model. They tried racing it up at SAS but the car over heated. Plus he didnt have enough motor for those boys up there lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
top_shelf_12 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 First Picture I think is Joey Heineman and possibly Mike McCain, second row both Chuck Barber I think, third row you got me, first one looks like a dirt late model, then the 18 is John Kaminski.  Second Picture Larry Smith and I don't know that 98, Bruce Sanders maybe? Second row Greg Carlucci and Kendal Laughlin, the 3 car I don't know. Third row, maybe James Mikulencak in both, not sure.  Third Picture John Witzche and I believe Scott or John Sullivan, Johnny White then the original dwarf car John Kobbus maybe and I'm not sure who's in the 5 Mini Stock, Carlucci Sr and Carlucci Jr  And of course the last one was Tommy Temple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
