Comments: Comment:  I hope you'll take a minute to really look at this photo... really... as in 60 seconds... Turn off the TV... Tell everyone near to be quiet.... and then take a minute and look at this photo.... from top to bottom, from side to side.... 

It's Flemington... 'Early in the night....  The fans are taking their seats...  It's an open trailer with a tire rack....It's an old tool box...  It's a driver in thought... It's a frozen moment of quiet in what is usually a loud and hectic place... 

We miss Flemington, and we miss Ray.

Thank you to photographer Jack Kromer for providing this one.

I always remembered him as a really nice guy and always willing to sign autographs for us kids way back then. I remember him as an excellent driver and  always rooting him on. He sure was taken way too early, that was a sad day just hearing he had passed so young. Its still sad today.

Gone way before his time.  I never got to race with him, but had total respect for him, especially after the Olympics.
