Thank you Len!   Some really great people there. Ray Shea, one of the best. He's the glue that holds one of the best vintage clubs in the country together.  Len Sammons, amazing how long and how successful Area Auto Racing News has been.  Think of all that are gone and they are still standing.

Lenny-  I've never been one to seek out an autograph BUT, you have compiled a who's who of local dirt/ asphalt drivers, owners, and folks tht have impacted our speed.  Your tire is, by far the best "autograph book" I have ever laid eyes on!  I'm guessing the only down side is keeping it on the coffee table.  Heck, it could be the coffee table!  Scott Ely

Big thanks to Lenny for all the legwork in carrying that tire to all the different venues to really capture a real slice of history, in signatures, but also in the images that go along with each. 

I appreciate Lenny sharing all of the info so that we could set up a page in the main site, and for sharing additional images here on the Message Vault over the past year or so.

For those who hadn't found it yet, here's the recap page:

We need Lenny to start a new tire for us ...There is alot of new younger drivers that we dont know yet..Maybe a Hoosier RR pavement sprint/supermod tire...Alot lighter and more area to write on..Lennys getting older and the lighter tire will help...Ha Ha..

You're a funny guy there Howie. I'm done, no new tire. But there's a few people I still need to get. I'd like to get Coz ( Bob Cosgrove) Scottie Kania. That will about finish up the lettering greats.  I noticed that Danny Klockner signed it, but I don't have a picture of him. Some fun facts about the tire, There are 3 women on it. I totaled up the total number of wins for the Syracuse Big block winners and came up with 32 wins from 13 different drivers plus Billy Pauch's WOO sprint car. I also totaled up the wins from the Eastern States at Middletown and came up with 38 wins between 16 drivers. One not so fun fact is that we have lost 31 of these folks that I know of.
