Chevy2Much Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Where's Bill White? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txtom Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Chevy, Follow this search link, and it will take you to threads that mention Bill White. He has been the center of many a history discussion here. Bill White There are several articles and pictures about Bill scattered throughout those threads. As for Bill himself, he still runs his shop at the corner of Hwy 36 and Hwy 95 East of Temple. He is still in great shape at about 82 years old, and can be seen at races that his sons Paul and Keith race. He loves to hear from his fans, and always has a story and a firm handshake. If you see him at a race, don't be afraid to walk up to him and introduce yourself. That goes for Paul and Keith, also. I have known Bill over 30 years, and he is one of my favorite people to talk to. Keith primarily races at Heart of Texas in Elm Mott (North Waco) on Fridays, and Killeen Saturdays. You will find him in both a Sport Modified, and a regular Modified. Paul races about anywhere, and still runs the USAC Silver Crown circuit. He also makes a few starts with the USMTS Modifieds. Other than the Silver Crown, it is hard to pin down a specific schedule for Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texastracker Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Paul is currently working with a guy that runs a powercoat paint shop on 933 (Golson Rd) just north of Waco. For more info to get in touch with Paul just call my best friend Greg Wade @ China Spring lube and service (China Spring Hwy across from the Chicken bussiness 254-863-1534 cslube@sbcglobal.net) PS. If your a racing fan and need tires, lube, shocks, battery, brakes or a front end alinement, I would encourge you to pay him a visit. Not only will you get great service but intresting racing news and tid bits all in one. He also sponsered Paul for this years Chilli Bowl, and is the reason I am racing fan and on this forum today. I have tried to get him to regester, but he says he has nothing to add or say. Nothing could be futher from the truth! Blessing, Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakdad Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Anybody talked to Bill lately? I still haven't been able to get up there to see him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txtom Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Saw him the last regular race night at H.O.T, he was there watching Keith race. Had a good time talking about different stuff. Still a really great person to talk to, as is his wife. I don't think I have ever seen anyone walk up to Bill and not get a firm handshake and a friendly hello, usually followed by a story. He is aware of this forum and the attention he gets on it, and he is appreciative that folks still talk about him. While he says he doesn't know enough about a computer to turn one on, His wife does, and she shows him pics and comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakdad Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Thanks Tom, please keep us up to date on Bill. He is one of my favorite people, not just as a race car driver but as a person. I'm a little younger than Bill and I know he wouldn't remember me, but hopefully one day I can get to Temple and look him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy1 Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 My Dad ran with Bill White, Gordon Wooley and Pappy Carpenter back in the early '60's at the Suicide Bowl. LOL they tell me that's how I learned to count. I was 4 when Dad quit racing in 64. I'll have to tell him how to get in touch with Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakdad Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Hey Fuzzy, Those are pretty good credentials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy1 Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 I wish I could find some pics of his old car. At that time I think he was the 1st person in Waco to run 00. Best I can recall from the stories it was a black Dodge sedan. Later he had a modified but I can't remember the color or number. I'll have to pick his brain for some info. His name is Sherbert Eppes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakdad Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 When I raced with Bill up at Oak Hill, he was driving an old black tudor. I thought it was a 46 or 47 Chevy but maybe not. Sure was fun................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champkrt1 Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 I met Mr White last year at HRP when Paul and Keith were racing, he is a great guy, and sure did bring them boys up right! This weekend they both have full plates going on over at TMS. Good luck to Paul and Keith! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txtom Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Saw him at Cowtown in February to watch Paul race both a midget and a modified. My Dad and I are planning to be at Cowtown tomorrow night, and If Bill is there, I'll get yall caught up on what he is doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyMac Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Anybody talked to Bill lately? I still haven't been able to get up there to see him. I call Bill this morning and spent about an hour talking about old times. He's doing good considering he will soon be 85. He had a knee replaced and that showed him down a little but he still goes to the races to watch his boys. He went to HOT just last night to watch Keith.
