Wehrs?
Must be a bowtie.
We used to own the Ford dealership in Bangor.

Brother Steve still races(matter of fact,I think he's leading the region right now)but I quit before I moved south, back in about 1990.

Nope, not a bowtie. But they rebuilt the Cat diesel in it and he was getting warranty work done. Didnt the dealership in Bangor move to West Salem and become Nick Harring's Valley View Ford? I go to the races in West Salem quite a bit. What class does you brother race in? Later guys

So did Dick Trickle. Raced a purple Mustang. I remember Super America as a sponsor. Partied with Mr. Trickle many times at Slinger.

Dick Trickle? Now there's a blast from the past.

I never met him, but I've watched him race at Cederburg years ago with Mike Melius, Frank Smith, Al Schill, Alan Kulwicki, etc... We never missed a Wednesday night race at Fireman's Park.

I can't remember his name, but the guy that drove the pace car for Cederburg, Hales Corners, and Slinger was a friend of the family. He drove the Starsky & Hutch Torino pace car. As a kid, we used to ride with him for the big 50/50 races. By far, one of the fondest memories of my childhood.

Did any of you ever race at Cederburg?

I've only sat in the stands. Truck & tractor pulls. Slinger, Beaver Dam (both tracks) Oregon, KK, Sturgeon Bay, Luxemberg, W. Salem and of course Road America. I was on the crew for a team that raced at Beaver Dam. If we hadn't of got caught with some enlarged ports............well that was the season championship.

I am planning to fly to Oshkosh for the BIG airshow. Anyone nearby with a room to rent? My buddy and I will be arriving on or about July 28 and staying for several days, weather depending.
Thanks, Mike
