stevenmacc Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I think this is a great idea, especially with a track with the history this one does. May I suggest that the person(s) whose the driving force behind this take a look at what Heart O' Texas Speedway in Waco did with their wall of fame, very nicely don, and I believe it was all done through donations. I think they induct 5(?) people a year, not all drivers, but other people who played a significant role in the track. As a newcomer to CC Speedway I was surprised not to see some mention of the history of the place on display. Might I also reccomend dividing the grandstands into sections and naming them after significant people as well. Â Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marinedvl1982 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Also it would be cool if anyone had some old pics or some old videos that can be posted up in the hall of fame. Then interview the first inductees of there best memories of the track and people they raced against. So that some of these young bucks and future racers can see how much this track and the people around it meant to them. Man that would be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
top_shelf_12 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Marine, you and I are the same age and agree with that list, I would only add Slick Yeomans, David Horton, Scott Sullivan, Stephen Carpenter, GB Carter, (some four cylinder love). I'll have to go back through the many pictures I have/took to create more from our era. Glad you mentioned Walter, growing up he was CC Speedway to me.

top_shelf_12 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 There is a nice video on YouTube on the Carlock family and their origins of opening the track. Videos by Donna was a long time standby of CC too, we always sit near her old stand, always have, always will. We still sit towards turn 1 at any track we go to.

top_shelf_12 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Not positive about the name, but it was white, red and gold 18, think his name was Jim Masters. Always ran well at CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinedvl1982 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Yeah I think I might have a pic of that number 18. And I agree with those names you brought up. Good drivers there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinedvl1982 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Yeah I remember always running up to walter before he got up into the flagstand and shaking his hand. I also would sit in turn one every saturday night. Only because the pits use to be right there in turn one. I would sit by the fence and watch all the cars come out. Then when they moved the pits we would sit in those stands in turn one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
top_shelf_12 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 We're usually along that last hand rail before the fence. My dad always is amazed how much that fence would flex when a fight broke out in the pits and the crowd rushed to the end of the stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinedvl1982 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Hahah yeah I remember those nights. Definitely going to bring some pics out on the 17th. I have a VHS of highlights from the 86-87 season that iam going to try and copy to cd. Gonna make a few copies and give them to some of the racers that want one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
