He was the first photo I ever took and before I had a clue that it was what I would do for the next 15 years of my life. He graciously posed with the beautiful Leon Wintermeyer red sprinter in a parking lot in Sidney, OH in the early 90's. He was there to run Eldora and it was my first trip, he said I would never forget the place and he was right, special guy! Take It Easy....

The beautiful Wintermeyer car is right. Fast sharp car.
Luna's Ford engine style that won 2 WoO titles and 3
Kings Royals before a weight rule against the best EVER
in their prime and now DOMINATES super dirt late model
racing is no longer allowed/wanted in a WoO sprint
car.... Was Luna a miracle worker?

Congratualtions, Keith.
Many years ago, at a rained out Florida All-Star race at Ocala. I can't remember the year, but it was the first year Volusia built the second track
You and your wife, Bert Emick and Earl and us in that country bar. What a night that was. You said in that bar that this was a night to remember, and I always have. You are a true racer and may your future hold 100 more victories.

Great stuff Slink, two of my All-Time favorite cars, the LEW1 and Walt Dyer's Brickmobile, ahhh the good ol' days. While that looks like a Grove shot I became fond of them from the road, back when the Posse travelled, ahhh the good ol' days. Take It Easy....

One of the greatest races I ever watched was the National Open (late 90's I think) when Kauffman came from 22nd to challenge for the win, only to be crashed by Mark Kinser in turn 3 late in the race. To this day, I've never heard Beer Hill as loud as it was after that crash. What an amazing run by Keith that night. I think he had to transfer through the B if I remember correctly. I was a fan before and have been a fan ever since. But I'll never forget that race.

Mark was in the Mopar I think and 99 was when he schooled Freddie on the last lap so it must have been early 2000s.
