Re: RIP Burt Reynolds
Damn shame. I think he had been cast in Tarentino's next film as well.
Now it's dark.

Re: RIP Burt Reynolds
If Harry would have gone NASCAR racing earlier in life the record books would look a lot different. He didn't really start racing in Winston Cup until he was past 40. Harry, Jody Ridley, Larry Phillips, Dick Trickle, Richie Evans and a lot of others made really good livings in the 1960's-1970's racing short tracks closer to their homes. Those guys could very easily be remembered the same way Petty, Pearson, Waltrip, Allison, etc are remembered if a little different hand had been dealt.whatwouldcooleydo? wrote:Handsome Harry Gant!!!LBRod wrote:

Re: RIP Burt Reynolds
I had a crazy aunt who, when Burt did his Playgirl centerfold, decided to have it framed and give it to my cousins (her nieces) who were pre-teens at the time and hang it on their bedroom wall. Their parents sort of objected but said fuck it and left it there leaving the rest of my family to erupt in moral outrage. If was funny as fuck. RIP Burt.

Indeed, I almost mentioned how as a kid he was a fixture at Asheville on Friday nights and Hickory on Saturday. Along with the guys you mentioned, local late model legends where I lived were Ironman Jack Ingram, Tommy Houston, Butch Lindley, and Robert Pressley. Was a huge fan of the Ironman

That centerfold was a brief plot line in a Orange is the New Black episode this seasonTequila Cowboy wrote:I had a crazy aunt who, when Burt did his Playgirl centerfold, decided to have it framed and give it to my cousins (her nieces) who were pre-teens at the time and hang it on their bedroom wall.

His daughter Donna was a classmate of mine in high school. I don't remember much about her other than she was rather short with huge tracts of land.whatwouldcooleydo? wrote:whatwouldcooleydo? wrote:Handsome Harry Gant!!!LBRod wrote:

Re: RIP Burt Reynolds
That's great, WWCD . The Ironman was no to be fucked with. He had quite a reputation.
I'm semi-obsessed and have been for a long time with short track racing fom the late 1960's through the mid 1990's. Jeff gordon and Jimmie Johnson are amazing but they just don't interest me the way Jack Ingram, Dick Trickle, or Bob Senneker do. I just read a book about Gary Balough, who was from Miami and won races all over the east coast and southeast in all kinds of division, but got caught up in south Florida drug trafficking in the 1980's and ended up going to prison just as his NASCAR career was getting off the ground.

Re: RIP Burt Reynolds
went to a Tommy Stinson house concert last night, they asked us to write names on tags, as there were a lot of peeps there who didn't know one another
This just seemed to be the right thing to do....

Re: RIP Burt Reynolds
As I understand it, Burt was gonna play George Spahn, of Spahn Ranch fame, in that upcoming Tarantino that involves the Tate-LaBianca murders
