I had a nice interview with Tom Sheets from Ohio
who drives #99 in the Late Model class.
But I lost the sheet with all the information!
So from my short memory, I will tell you what I remember.

This was Tom's first race after taking a three year break and
he was really excited to be on the track again.  Driving car #
B9 is Tom's brother
Bill Sheets.  The two were in line together
waiting for their heat race in the picture to the right.  

For the feature race, Bill finished in 6th place and Tom finished
in 8th place.  I have a picture of Bill working on Tom's car
before the race.  Do you think he was trying to make sure Tom
didn't beat him?!
Above:  Happy birthday to Henry
Messerschmidd
from St. Peters,
Indiana who turned 75 today.
Henry is a brother-in-law to
Keith Mergenthal (sitting next to
Henry) who is at the track every
week to watch his son, flagman
Dave Mergenthal.
Left:  Four years ago Jack
Huber
(sitting on the right)
and his wife were camping
at Whitewater State Park
when they "heard racing
somewhere!"  They found
Union County Speedway.
 
Since then, they have
been coming to the track
every week.  Jack
persuaded his friend from
work,
Bill "Noodlehead"
Rahmas
, to join him at the
track last year and he has
returned every week also.
Don't you wish you could still
sleep like that!
