Lucky161 Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 It's been so long since I've seen this name spelled I can't remember, but he drove #43 and was from Waco. Didn't run every week, but when he showed up, he was really fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky161 Posted June 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 I can't believe nobody remembers him, so I will just make this multiple choice. Just some names that popped into my head from days gone by. These will be mostly North Texas, Cowtown Speedway, Devil's Bowl, Thunderbird, Sportsdrome etc. 1. Sonny Swanson supers Devil's Bowl and Great Southwest (benbrook) 2. Pokey Wiggington Thunderbird, maybe Big D 3. George "Ironhead" England. He was Ironhead before Dale E. 4. Pete Demming Great Southwest 5. Bill Thrasher Devil's Bowl, Great Southwest 6. Frank Riley Devils' Bowl, Great Southwest 7. Dean Daniel Thunderbird, Cowtown 8. Jim Crocker Thunderbird, Big D 9. Jerry Crocker Devil's Bowl, Great Southwest 10. Olin Gibbons Devil's Bowl, Great Southwest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texastracker Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Im not sure were Bud is today, but I can find out very easily. I went to High School with his 2 sons. At that time they lived in the timbercrest addition southeast waco, Bellmead area. Lord willing I will look him up tomorrow after Church.

Lucky161 Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Doesn't Heart O Texas honor the oldtimers every year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texastracker Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Lucky, Heart O' Texas started an oldtimers event in 88. It was going to be an annual event but that never happened. They have had a few special events but nothing consistant. I did find out that Bud in living out close to lake Waco, but never found any listing for how to reach him.

Lucky161 Posted August 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Thanks for the information. I wasn't thinking so much of contacting him as I was in recognizing his accomplishments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
