History of how we got started and where we are headed 

Our little racing club started when Ed Morris ( our resident historian and ultimate fan and spectator ) had a idea of bringing a few of us Dirt Track Enthusiast that had been communicating through Face Book for over a year together for lunch. He called asking me if I could help organize his idea since I had been a car owner and driver for years and knew many of those in the North Texas Dirt Track Community.  He asked if I could also find us a place to gather for lunch. He had invited Marc Madison, Don Nixon, Frank Hobbs along with myself ( Santa Bob McMasters ) and himself and the 5 of us meet at " The Bulls Pen " off of Hwy 80 and East Fork Road for lunch. Well we ate and bench raced for a couple of hours then going outside to continue for better part of hour more. We agreed that this was something we wanted to make a tradition out of doing and agreed to grow this into a event for all those in the dirt track racing community past and present. We was originally going to do this 3 to 4 times a year but have come to realize that it is not feasible during the racing season. So we have narrowed it down to just before the season and right after the season with only one Event during the racing season. This one Event will be what we have termed " Special Edition " and would be to Honor a Racer, Owner, Promoter or someone working in the industry that had excelled in their field. After that first gathering of us 5 charter members we decided to move our 2nd luncheon reunion and all future luncheon reunions to Circle Grill Restaurant ... which is more accessible and has been in it's location for many years. A lot of the old racers would either meet there or next door at the old " Stagecoach Inn Restaurant " after the races was over at the " Old Devil's Bowl " . Plus everyone knows where Young Chevrolet is so Circle Grill being right behind it would be easy to find. Circle Grill also welcomes our group for they have the back room to host us. ....... Now on to where we are headed..... We want to make this the premier event in North Texas ... why ... because we are trying to help showcase and preserve our Dirt Track Racing History here in our area. A lot of the Older Farts have so much history and stories to tell and share along with photos, print and newspaper articles. Don Cook has been on a mission for years to do just this and has attended a couple of our reunions and has photo documented these items that you the racers have brought to share with the group.
