Buck Simmons #41

At the age of 12, Buck Simmons knew that he would be destined as a pro race car driver. Encouraged by his father, Buck started racing go carts at this young age, and became very successful at maneuvering his way to first place every time. At the age of 16, Buck started racing a real race car on dirt tracks in north Georgia. His career flourished, and he continues, still today at being one of the most famous race car drivers in America's history, putting himself into the hall of fame, with over 1000 wins!!   NOTHING RUNS LIKE A BUCK!!!

Rutherford County Speedway

This picture was taken at Jacksonville, FL as they raced their way back up from Tampa, FL. The track at Jacksonville would put down burnt motor oil to keep the dust down and if you close in front of the rear tire you can see where the motor oil off the rear tire has covered over some of the Athens, GA lettering.  

Not a big fan of restored cars, but here's a couple of the full bodied sedan shown above.
