    Faster than a bullet from a gun
    He is faster than everyone
    Quicker than the blinking of an eye
    Like a flash you could miss him going by
    No one knows quite how he does it but it's true they say
    He's the master of going faster. -George Harrison

    Maybe the time of death is unknown because he was watching a plate race, or multiple attempts at a green white checker finish. So live, dead, he looked about the same.

    During my mid-life single days (the most interesting 12 years I ever lived through) I took a blonde date to the Copper World Classic who would have fit most of the criteria for this thread. She did come to life long enough to start crying when a midget flipped in front of us on the main straight. I don't think she was destined to ever become a race fan.

    The way rhe "crowd" looks at Loudon today, NASCAR probably wishes there were a few more stiffs in the stands!

    He had no objections to any of the announcers calling the race. Never made comments about the attendance, Had no opinion of the GWC. He just enjoyed the racing.

    I don't remember who it was. He cleared the pit wall upside down and landed on his wheels right in the middle of the crowded Silver Crown grid. And didn't hit anyone.

    I've worked a lot of pit lanes since then and have never looked at pit wall without picturing that midget sailing over it.

    I have my head on a swivel every week. I get shivers every week when I see people just walking aroung like they are at the beach or their favorite night club when they are walking thru the pits yukking it up or adding a new update to their Facebook page.

    Hey guys, promoters are struggling all over so this could be one heck of a promotional idea!!!

    Bring Out Your Dead Night at the track, that's right, anyone deceased gets in free with a paid adult admission. No coffins wider than 14 inches will be allowed in the grandstands.
