GO KARTING IN NAGSHEAD!!!

I feel it necessary to post the true accounts of my racing career at Nagshead from 1984-1995. I have taken a beating from being a clean and reputable racer.Kindalike Mark Martin but a little bit more aggressive. In that way Earnhardt-like. I was wrecked by Mickey,Al, Scott and too many others to mention. I did take out my fair share of others in retaliation only. I never instigated. I believe Bobby was there as a witness and can surely recall my unjust tossing at Rodanthe Superspeedway. I was robbed of my $5 ride fee and parked early. Im still waiting for the $5 Mick owes me for the head-on collision that resulted in an early parking of our karts. So in closing I feel that my true hard chargin style has "rubbed" a few people the wrong way. No pun intended. Feel free to comment on your accounts racing the True Value hard charger of Rodanthe, Nagshead and Hampton Speedways. I will be posting Mickeys great adventure from Hampton at a later post. Hint..It invloves tires and a great white shark..

Al said...

i wish we had a tape!!! but then agian just like the rudd/earnhardt episode at wilkesboro you don't want to see the truth!! if i remember right me and geoff went across the street to run the dune buggies and the guy wasn't going to let us run because you walked over there with us!!! i had to plead with the guy and finally he said we (geoff and i) could run but not that guy pointing to you!!! so it wasn't just scott,me,and mick that thought you were a dirt(opposite of clean)and reckless (not reputable) driver it was also the go kart operaters!! JUST THOUGHT EVERBODY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW the true story! sorry i stole your line scott. ah the good old days!!!!!! can't wait for the shark/go kart story, you tell that one so well!!do you remeber why we were in hampton? and do you remeber how long it took us to get home thanks to mickey's short cut?

Al said...

if you remeber right gary i was going for the lead on lap ten(passing scooter in the best car in the field that belonged to micheal greathouse) when they red flagged us and inverted the field and i had to start last!!! you never passed me!! and if it wasn't for ed stoots i would have given irv bell his first win as a car owner!! do you still have the tape? i'd like to see that entire race agian. gary tell them about spinning grubb out in the mini cup race!!

Al said...

i think i was the winner among the officals but i finished like 5th or 6th over all i was in kevin grubbs car.

Keith said...

George can stir the pot can't he.

Al said...

yea george sure is a muck raker!! rudd should have been giving the win at wilkesboro!! and taco and crew were justified with the no george ban!!

bobby said...

Earth to George. I was there. George's picture is still posted at the go cart track banning him and his associates from from the track. .

Al said...

now we finally know the real story george!

donna said...

If Bobby says it, I believe it!

George said...

I do know why we were in hampton Al and I do know that Mickey did a 3 hour circle and took us 5 hours to get home instead of 2. I also want to point out that while my aggressive style of driving was frowned upon by some I do feel vindicated knowing that my efforts didnt go without notice. If only I knew where taco was. He knows the truth. Also why isnt anyone blaming Mickey for our 2 lap fiasco getting us booted for a head-on collision? I feel like Im geting piled on. Everyone gets 2 minutes for 3rd men in and mick gets 2 for interference...

George said...

PS..Gary can claim to be tough but he never raced me.We all know I would take him. I also believe Al won at Southside..It was on a press release from there I saw a while back..GO ALMO!!

Al said...

we went down there for a busch race at langley! i can't believe your saying my dad was wrong and that a guy named taco is right!!!

Al said...

i agree scott!! hey george i heard from a very reliable source that your newphew reported to school wearing a matt kennseth t-shirt!!!!!!!!!!!!! what? say it ain't so? you need to get this boy straight while he's young!!

Al said...

i heard thats how it starts too!!! i'm very troubled bye this!!!

George said...

The Kenseth shirt is more troubling to me than anyone. He outgrew my Sr. and Jr gifts already. Your dad by the way is not wrong just has a different view of the true facts...

Al said...

different veiw of the true facts!!! sounds like you might have some politician or lawyer in you to me!! i'm reading between the lines ansd your still saying my dad didn't see things like the rest of us!! i'm confident that you'll get your nephew striagt not only for yourself but for scott and myself too!!!
