Yea, It’s a great site. I found my dad on there too… Walt Von Tilius. A lot more of his buddies… Roy Bowe, Johnnie Tolan, Brad Bradford, Sonny Coleman, Joe Giba, Roy Leslie.
I love the old program covers and posters too.
C.D.R. still rules!
Terry,
I grew up around the Colorado drag strips. My Dad raced Fuel Altereds. Cdr was my favorite Colorado track for sure. Used to tear around the road course on my mini bike dreaming I was the drivers my Mom took me to see, at the big road races there.
If you have more racing pics of your Dad, you should forward them for posting.
Also, I know someone who remakes the Cdr tee shirts, they make a great gift for old racers. I get more comments on those shirts than any other I’ve worn.
Fun site ❗ ❗ I almost did not make it all the way to the bottom but there is so much more there.
On another note:
God Speed Evil Knieval…. You will always be a True American Idol :scoot
Rest in Peace…
Rick,
All the old pictures of my dad are sadly gone. My mom was not the biggest fan of his midget racing carrier. So when he died, the pictures got given away to Brad Bradford (my mom worked for Brad at the time). Now that he is gone too, I have no idea what became of them.
I have a CDR patch on my kart racing suit. I don’t even remember where I found it. My dad was friends with Sid Langshum, the owner of CDR. His Jaguar e Type and Aston Martin DB5 were in our garage at least once a year. My dad was the only one in town who could fix the damn things. I’d love to find a CRD shirt for me and my older brother.
I want to climb the fence at Lakeside Speedway, and just walk around. Lots of memories there. My dad stopped racing before I was born, but we sure went to a lot of races on Saturday nights.
