1. New Freedom Factory hats and “REDNECK ENGINEER” shirts available here!! https://www.cleetusmcfarland.com/

2. I come back to this video every now and then. Gene is an absolute champ. Regardless of how many races he may have won. What a wonderful man to still be able to reference the history this speedway. I hope you can have Gene there when this whole pandemic has become manageable and we can all go racing together again. It would be a fitting tribute to this gentleman if we could experience him enjoying a victory lap on the track that he started so many years ago. Please consider this. Thanks.

3. Definitely be cool to see those schematics of the track copied, framed, and hung.
