Racing Discussion / Re: Richie Evans
« on: 24 Oct, 2009 13:53 »
This was posted by JL(Jan Leaty) one year ago on a similar thread. I had to copy and paste and bring it here as it is so powerful.  :'(

   
Posted on Friday, October 24, 2008 - 8:14 am:      
As stated earlier.. many of us remember exactly where we were and what we were doing at the moment Rich was killed. I had just gotten out of my car from the first practice session, and was standing on the back straight wall, watching the 2nd session at M-ville. The 61 roared by me on the back stretch. You ALWAYS watched him because you knew he was going to be the one to beat on race day. I looked away for a moment, but then heard something wasn't right down in turn 3. We then saw the wreck. My first thought was not about Richie's safety, because I just knew he'd be fine. I said to someone next to me "that will be a move to his back up car" ( yes, probably the one I had driven in '84 )

It wasn't until Bill Colton made his way back to the Pits, ( he was driving his car then, and had stopped at the accident scene ) that I knew how bad it was.

Later, I ran into Doug Hewitt, and he had been at the hospital, and he broke the bad news. He told me then and there that he was done...

I called home with the news, crying like a baby..

I will never forget that, or the great stuff...

Race on, Richie...

Nice story. Too bad your first time @ the Mile was under the worst track conditions ever at that place compliments of a state fair motorsports show.

What the heck are you talking about? LOL! I've been to races where that track was so rough cars actually LOST rear tires. As in them being ripped off due to the pot holes in turn one. That track was in as good a shape as I've ever seen it. The racing was as close as its ever been, The concessions people were hopping all day, And the anouncers were spot on and you could hear the PA system through out the race. Other than the cold and wind, That show was probably the best I've ever been to there in over THIRTY years(on and off) of going.


I swear to god some people would complain if they got hung by a golden rope!
The track was very rough  before the start-finish line and in turn one. The track in turn one eliminated half of the Sportsman field in the first couple of laps. Many drivers( big block) were quoted as saying things like " I thought I was gonna die" and "I was scared shitless." I was in the pits, I heard them. Parts broke on cars that never break. Hearn broke the yoke on the back of the tranny. That thing should hold up under tons of pressure. Yes it was a good show but the track was not. Just sayin'.

forecast looks better for the weekend-Sunny and 50 degrees both days. They are expecting about 25 late models for Sunday.
More like 45 degrees.

Well when you apply for it at the DMV, they give you a temporary one. It's just a slip of paper. If you bring your birth certificate with it then you should be able to cross although they gave my brother a hard time if I remember correctly.  It takes a couple weeks to get the permanent license.
Thanks Dave. Need one more asphalt racing fix before winter.Can't believe how crappy the weather has turned here in the Buffalo area. Damn Lake Erie!!!

first of all i would like to say to jeff66 buy a couple videos or read a book, learn how things work in the racing world cause u dont know chit about chit! now on to kenny. i always thought u were a good guy to have around we always had a good time and raced well but after reading all the stuff on this page i have lost alot of respect for u. grow up and take some responsibility for you actions. i dont know how you can sit here and let all these ***** bash chuck when you know none of its true. no one thats ever been on a race team with you has ever had it as good as you did with chuck you had a free ride, all you had to do was sit on your *** and watch us work and tell us what changes to make once in a while. i know for a fact no one on your team got a free ride. chuck takes really good care of all of us and is far from being a cocky ***hole regardless of what people think.for you to sit there and read all this crap without speaking up is ignorant as hell. you need to grow up, your not a teenager anymore.get off the dope, get on some prozac and quit being so miserable.

That article is all very cloudy and confusing.
Its a news article not an official press release. Shouldn't have been posted like this without accurate details. Someone in charge from the track should come on and clarify before Race NYers convert it into a dirt track. :-[
