THE HISTORY OF RANDY CARTHEL, THE RACER
THIS PAGE IS TO SHARE WITH YOU JUST SOME OF MY SCRAP BOOK.
JUST TO TRY TO EXPLAIN HOW MUCH FUN I'VE HAD OVER THE YEARS RACING.
TO EXPERIENCE RACING IS TO LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST.
I'VE BEEN BLESS TO HAVE HAD SO MUCH FUN RACING.
MY WISH IS FOR EVERY RACER TO HAVE FUN AND ENJOY THE SPORT.

MY CAR RACING ENDEVERS
#187 THE RETIRED KENNY STIDD FORD CAR, I DROVE IN 1979 WINNING ROOKIE OF THE YEAR AND ONE FEATURE
EVENT. HAD LOTS OF FUN BUT CAR RACING PROVED A LOT HARDER THAN MOTORCYCLES AND I SOON RAN OUT OF MONEY AND DID NOT RACE
AGAIN UNTIL 1984. THE #7 RED CAR WAS BUILT BY NANCE IN WICHITA, KS AND HAD A CARROLL CAUDLE ENGINE THAT WAS FAR SUPERIOR
TO THE OTHERS AT THE TIME, MAKING THE TRACK CHAMPIONSHIP EASY TO WIN IN 1984. THIS PIC SHOWS A SLIGHT DRIVER'S ERROR.
THEN, I THOUGHT I NEEDED TO BUY THE TRACK IN 1985 AND HERE IT IS 2007. WHERE DID ALL THOSE YEARS GO?
