Cool website and now I know of two auction families involved in racing. My wife is a collector and we used to go to a lot of farm auctions before I got so busy chasing racing. Up here north of the Cities a lot of them were by VandeKamp. One of theVandeKamp's drives a Street Stock at Kopellah, Cedar Lake and other tracks in this area.

P.S. I'd love to see the IRA at Arlington but won't be able to make it that night. I was at the NCRA 410 show back in '99 and they were bad fast on that track.

I hope there is enough fans to support the racing on the 28th in the area. With IRA 410s in Arlington, ASCS 360 in Slayton, Jackson having a regular 360 show, Hartford SD has a regular show, and Knoxville for those that really travel, I hope the best for all the tracks and the fans get a great show, no matter which track they chose to support.
I will be going to my brother's wedding.

Hey Stan- nice photo of the VandeKamp car- I see number 16- When I was 40 I got back into racing and used the # 91- reason was -that was 16 over- Still sponsor the 91 IMCA Sprint driven by Mike Sargent- I also do the PA work at Arlington and sub at Redwood Falls for Terry Marguth who is also an Auctioneer/annouincer. Sometimes the lineups get a little hectic and talking fast comes in handy. I went to the stock car races with my dad in the early 50s in Mitchell S.D. & once in a while to the fair races-Moved to Minn in '57 and was a steady fan 60's & early 70's til Uncle Sam needed us- Got involved with a Late model in Valdosta, Georgia while in the service and when I got out and back home to Minn. Built a 55 chev with 327 engine & raced til a buddy flag man of mine was fataly injured at the track- I took a few years off to have a family and went back one night when I turned 40 and had a Hobby car the next week- The next year I had a sprint car -but I wasnt as serious as the young guys & so I quit driving and became an owner- Now as an announcer- Im finally making money racing- Thats my story and I'm sticking to it. Pat- see you at the races.
