Scott Pavlis Scott started his racing career at the Mazon Speed Bowl in 1968 and raced there until the track closed at the end of the 1970 season. When the move to Grundy County Speedway came in 1971, Scott continued driving through the end of the 1974 season. Scott still holds the 6-cylinder track record of 17.65 which he set on July 26, 1974. Although a regular at the Mazon Speed Bowl and Grundy County Speedway, Scott also raced at Fairbury, Farmer City, and Raceway Park. Scott still enjoys going to all types of races and reminiscing about the fun of racing in the 60’s and 70’s. John Cowman John Cowman, won the Sportsman Championship in 1991 at the Grundy County Speedway. John has been involved in midwest Stock Car Racing since 1986 at his home track in Morris. His Crew Chief, Gordy Enerson, with more than 22 years of racing experience and his pit crew, Bryan Hendrix, Matt Higgins, Dan Semlar, and Kerry Sharp, Billy Norman, Bob Johansen, and Mike Cowman took the Green #88 1991 Howe Design Camaro to Victory Lane many times and captured the Championship Title in addition to 17 Feature wins and more than 70 total wins between Heats, Dashes, and Features. The Mobil 1 Racing Camaro was featured in the 1992 Howe Racing Catalog and also in the R.A. Benson Motorsports Catalog for that same year. Cowman Racing Fans also paid a huge role in his racing success along with his Sponsors, Mobil 1, Mr. Z Auto Body, Tri-County Disposal, Anderson Garage, Advanced Compressor Tech, R.A. Benson Motorsports, J&J Bakery, Eagle Bodies and many others especially his wife Patty and children Mike and Katie. Special thanks to Engine Builders Mike Walker and Dan Strezo and to Frank Doherty for the use of his car one night in ‘91 and to John Sherbit for the use of his spare engine at the end of the ‘91 season. One of John’s biggest accomplishments was winning the Feature Race Opening Night in ‘92 as it was his first Late Model race ever. Racer, Larry Shuler was the first person to congratulate John when he pulled off the track. It was an #88 weekly staple to throw out Green #88 Racing T-Shirts to his fans and during the week, John and his Pit Crew mentored many kids by including them in preparing the car and making them one of the crew. John Cowman will always acknowledge his appreciation to Gordy Enerson who taught him the right way to race and dedicates his racing career to a well deserving friend in Gordy. Gene Lee Gibson The son of 4 time Hall of Famer and legend in the sport Todd Gibson, and HOF Brenda Gibson. Racing has been my life. The seat in my father’s midget became open when my brother Larry went to another ride in 1997. Started winning right out of the box. In 76 races from 1997 to 2000 I won 38 features, 6 DNF’s due to 5 engine and 1 flip, and 30 top 10’s of that 26 are top 5’s. We start the 7 hour drive to Grundy County Speedway in 1998 only after I was barred from NAMARS for putting Jason Leffler on his back at Columbus Motor Speedway early in 1998. We won the first race at Grundy County and you all know what we did from there on. In 1998, 1999 and 2000 we won the SRCS Championship, Meyers Memorial, and Bob Lockhard Memorial as well as the UMARA Championship and the Illionois State Championship in 2000. I liked the longer races. My success is soley because of my father. He is a mechanical genious. We just didn’t break down. I also wanted to thank UMARA for welcoming us, especially now gone and past President Aaron Willis! He always stopped and thanked us for coming to compete. I know he understood what was involved for us to travel the distance we did and appreciated it. I want to thank the Hall of Fame Committee for voting me in to the Hall of Fame. I was sur- prised when I was notified, didn’t know you even had a Hall of Fame. Lastly I wanted to thank all my competitors that I raced against. I was treated with respect, an I hope I had made the feeling mutual. I had a lot of fun and made some good friends racing at Grundy County Speedway. I do miss it. Pat Wilda My earliest memories of midget rac- ing was when I was about 7 years old, sitting on the porch waiting for my dad Ray to ask me to go with him to Tony Saylor’s shop, so that I could watch him do what he loved, being the crew chief for Tony’s car. This was a dream for every little boy to be so close to the excitement of midget car racing. 1973/1974 Bob Magee gave me my first ride and I started my career under the alias of “Pat Magee” –car #98, because that was the name of the registered driver, for which I took over for the first year. I was known as “Looper.” 1975 I became owner and driver of the #98. I raced dirt and pavement, using the same car, and depending on which track you were going to race, you prepared the car, for that race track. For many years on the 4th of July we raced pavement in the afternoon at Grundy County Speedway, and then we travelled to Mendota Speedway to race on dirt during the evening. We raced everywhere and every track. We travelled all over to Florida, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio – there weren’t many weekends that we sat at home. I raced the #57, (my favorite number for Tony Saylor). I also had a thing that if I bought a car from someone, I did not want to change the number unless it was taken. My most favorite memory was driving a Jim Anderson race car for a year. The car was #35 but I turned the five into a six and became #36 for Jim who took a year off from racing. In that car at Joliet Stadium during a heat race, was my first time on my head landing upside down at the start finish line, and no I did not win the heat race. I continued to race till about 1994 and then took a hiatus from racing and became a push truck driver for WOOMS and UARA. 1999 mid – season, I was back racing again. 2003 I turned over my driving skills to my son Patrick - car #57 and became the crew chief. My son wanted #32 for Michael Jordan, but since that # was taken, he took the #33. Patrick was named “Rookie of the year” for UMARA, using all his skills he learned from me. With Pat Wilda Cont. Patrick in the driver’s seat, we won the 2005 “Car Owner Championship” for UMARA. 2015 to current I became a pit Steward for IRS, STARS and Powri. I continue to feed my addiction to racing by supporting the ‘Corsons’ and my God son RJ- helping to fulfill his dream of racing. Throughout the years and to this day, you gain so many friends that no other sport seems to measure up to this feeling. There are so many people to thank, but first and most important, my wife Kathy, who still stays married to me, knowing that racing will always be in my life, and for that I cannot thank her enough for all her support. Thank you to my dad Ray, who took a young little boy and introduced him to midget car racing, and to Bob Magee for my first ride.

SIMONE A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2009 1 © 2009 Daniel J. Simone 2 To Michael and Tessa 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A driver fails without the support of a solid team, and I thank my friends, who supported me lap-after-lap. I learned a great deal from my advisor Jack Davis, who when he was not providing helpful feedback on my work, was always willing to toss the baseball around in the park. I must also thank committee members Sean Adams, Betty Smocovitis, Stephen Perz, Paul Ortiz, and Richard Crepeau as well as University of Florida faculty members Michael Bowen, Juliana Barr, Stephen Noll, Joseph Spillane, and Bill Link. I respect them very much and enjoyed working with them during my time in Gainesville. I also owe many thanks to Dr. Julian Pleasants, Director Emeritus of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program, and I could not have finished my project without the encouragement provided by Roberta Peacock. I also thank the staff of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program. Finally, I will always be grateful for the support of David Danbom, Claire Strom, Jim Norris, Mark Harvey, and Larry Peterson, my former mentors at North Dakota State University. A call must go out to Tom Schmeh at the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame, Suzanne Wise at the Appalachian State University Stock Car Collection, Mark Steigerwald and Bill Green at the International Motor Racing Resource Center in Watkins Glen, New York, and Joanna Schroeder at the (former) Ethanol Promotion and Information Council (EPIC).

  • Auto Racing 1 Auto Racing
    Auto racing 1 Auto racing Auto racing Sebastian Vettel overtaking Mark Webber during the 2013 Malaysian Grand Prix Highest governing body FIA First contested April 28, 1887 Characteristics Mixed gender Yes Categorization Outdoor Auto racing (also known as automobile racing, car racing or motorcar racing) is a motorsport involving the racing of automobiles for competition. History The beginning of competition Motoring events began soon after the construction of the first successful gasoline-fueled automobiles. The first organized contest was on April 28, 1887, by the chief editor of Paris publication Le Vélocipède, Monsieur Fossier. It ran 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from Neuilly Bridge to the Bois de Boulogne. It was won by Georges Bouton of the De Dion-Bouton Company, in a car he had constructed with Albert, the Comte de Dion, but as he was the only competitor to show up it is rather difficult to call it a race. Another solo event occurred in 1891 when Auguste Doriot and Louis Rigoulot of Peugeot drove their gasoline-fueled Type 3 Quadricycle in the bicycle race from Paris–Brest–Paris. By the time they reached Brest, the winning cyclist Charles Terront was already back in Paris. In order to publicly prove the reliability and performance of the 'Quadricycle' Armand Peugeot had persuaded the organiser, Pierre Giffard of Le Petit Journal, to use his network of monitors and marshalls to vouchsafe and report the vehicle's performance. The intended distance of 1200 km had never been achieved by a motorised vehicle, it being about three times further than the record set by Leon Serpollet from Paris to Lyon.[1][2] Auto racing 2 Paris–Rouen: the world's first motoring contest On July 23, 1894, the Parisian magazine Le Petit Journal organized what is considered to be the world's first motoring competition from Paris to Rouen.

  • MAGAZINE October 2019
    B Manawatu Car Club Inc MAGAZINE October 2019 Something for Everyone Page 1 of 49 EDITORSPEAK … email Trevor [email protected] First off this month, a heartfelt congratulations to all the trophy winners from the 2019 Feilding Auto Electrical Winter Series. It takes time, commitment, a passion for the sport, a fair degree of skill, and sometimes a little luck to achieve the results that let you stand on the top step at the end of a championship, so I rightly take my hat off to you. I hope you all enjoyed the prize giving evening and the accolades because they are very well deserved. Remember however, it also takes other competitors to push you to levels you may not have otherwise reached, so a big shout out to ALL those that enjoyed competing in what is probably the best race series in the country. Let’s make sure we build the series, year on year, by continuing to spread the word about our sport and offering the same friendly, encouraging and inclusive atmosphere to anyone wishing to “have a go”. A big thank you also to all the sponsors who make the whole thing viable for the club to run. Without their support it just wouldn’t happen, so remember that next time you go shopping – support those that support us. I read an interesting statistic recently. Apparently there are now more surgeon hours spent dealing with Lime scooter injuries than those resulting from motorcycle accidents in this country. As a bike rider I wonder where ACC sits on this given that I pay an absolute fortune in ACC levies as part of my registration costs because I am deemed to be, rightly or wrongly, at high risk.
