REBELRACER Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 the kelly family are a class act. never had to cheat to win and always drove clean. it was always great to watch john and his crew pull in with their open trailer, park along side all the huge haulers with the flashy fancy cars, and john would outdrive those guys most all the time. he didnt do it with big money, he did it with hard work and a lot of skill and knowledge. a great bunch of folks that it is a pleasure knowing.

michelle84 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 That is very kind of both of ya'll to say, and Frank your right the Kelly Family racing has been around since the old Pan American days. I know a lot of the newer & younger drivers may not remember thoses days when Pat Kelly Sr., Robert Kelly & John Kelly all ran at Pan Am and then joined as one team at Hwy 16 and of course the next generation Little John, Jason and of course Patrick Kelly all at the dirt track. The Kelly's would always reach out to any driver that needed help and never wanted anything in return. We would like to Thank everyone that is helping Frank after his life threatning illness. We course Thank GOD everyday for the doctors & nurses at the downtown Baptist hospital that worked so hard and sved Frank's life. He was given less then a 10% chance to live and with the power of prayers he is getting stronger eveyday and able to be with his wife and son and all of the Kelly family. We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow and again Thank you all for your support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
