In closing out the races for this year.

Wim pey also stated that during the winter and spring while the trade is closed a lot of changes will be made both for the drivers and spectators. The drivers and owners of cars will welcome the news that the track is to be widened and lengthened giving the cars more room to pass in die straights and curves. A new and more convenient pit en trance will be made, plus possibly a private entrance for all the racing cars. Some of the spectators that had to find standing room only trill welcome the news that more permanent type bleachers will be constructed as well as more rest rooms and possibly a concession stand on the back sidtf of the tr?"V. More rest rooms are in the plaiuiing stage. A speedier entrance and exit from the premises will be built, plus more parking room. These are die changes that are in the planning stage and as many of these that can be taken care of between now and the opening next spring will be done.

A copy of the new rules will be publlsed in the area papers. Anyone planning on building a race car should get in touch with Jack Wlmpey or any of the officials of the track and se cure a set of rules before getting the car under con struction. Since this scribe wu at tending the Western 500 at Weavervtlle last Sunday, there's not too much that I can tell you about the racing at Tri-County Speed way. I heard that it was real cold and the attendance was off somewhat due to the weather conditions I have often said that racing fans were a bit different from most sports lovers. When you attend a football game you ex pect it to be cold. As a matter of fact it is a cold weather sport and you never give it ? second thought. You just put oc additional clothing and take off regardlaas ot how cold the weather is. Stock car racing was born in the South where you have more warm month* than you do cold onee. Some how It never gets too hot too have a race. 1 have attended races when it wu so hot that I received a good sun burn on die fane and arma. Saturday and Sunday In Weavervllle waa the coldeet I have ever been at a-race track. But even are In the upper ind with a forty hour wind blow thirties andwMh mile an hour wind blowing, 00 our 6000 fane shivering and shaking for about five hours. Had not seven of the tftfrty members at the "CP" dub (Catch Fatty) still been In ? about midways of the rue and three of these were three of die best (Alli s son, Pearson and Hut cherson) I am sure a lot of fans would have left a nd gone home. It was Just that close all daylong, the luckiest man of the day had to be Pear son. After all the front runners had made necessary pit stops under the green flag, on two occasions ne kept going and was able to make these two pit stops under the caution flag losing very little time. The smartest man of the day had to be Max Ledbener. Even though he came in 7 th., his net profit was probably more than the leaders. Max started off in the twenty ninth position and was running seventh at die finish. As most race drivers will tell you, "Its not where you start, but where you finish that counts". Those that were In attendance already know the strategy that Max used, but for the benefit of those that were not there and are wondering how he could finish ahead of such drivers as Darel Derringer, Cale Yarborough, Leroy Yarborough. Jim Paschal and many other big name drivers, I beleive that he was just running to finish. Every time the fast cars made o laps. Max made 4 laps. If he wanted tosmoke, he would just take a cigarette out of his pocket and light it and keep on running. As far as rushing in to the pits and rushing out, this made no difference to him. One time during a pit stop it took him five minutes to borrow a tire. Why he needed the tire, I'll never know, be cause 1 can't recall him blow ing a tire. His tire wear could not have been much at the speed he was running. At one time under the caution flag, the pace car almost lapped him. How many cars that passed him during the 396 laps that he ran would be hard to say, but I am sure that he saw the rear of die same cars many times throughout the day. Bat when it was all over Max picked up $050.00 for driving 186 miles , that figures a little over $3.50 per mile. Not bad for a Sunday after noon drive. After the race Max said that all he wanted to do was fin ish. His son asked him after the race "why did you drive so slow"? Max replied "It'a hard to make any speed oo a flat tire". The race wound up the 1967 Nascar season with Richard Petty setting records that may never be broken. With the exhaust roar of racing for 1967 in the books now, the focus of the motors ports world la now being dir ected to the middle Georgia Raceway which will host the first NASCAR grand national event for the 1968 season on this Sunday, November 12th. The raceway Is located near Macon Ga. It will be a 250 mile event around a half mile oval. Too Late To Classify FOR SALS ~ Kxroca house and bath. New. Ooe year old. On black top road.
