Hi Katie,

Thanks for sharing your experiences. That must have been something to see A.J. Foyt racing at Ascot! Maybe today’s race fans will say something similar about seeing Kyle Larson race midgets after being NASCAR champion.

All the best,

Randy

I remember the year A.J. Foyt was on the pole at OMS. He was racing for Sunday. Saturday night we all went to Ascot and A.J. and “Ziggy
Schwartz” (this was AJ’s nickname for his friend) raced the dirt track all night long. AJ’s pedal was still to the metal. I thought, “He is on the pole tomorrow, what if he had an accident?” He was spraying us all with dirt as he made turn 2.

I love your posts…
Thank YOU,
Katie

Hey Troy, Yes, I remember that day very well, March 8, 2008. It was COLD! Great ice racing. That was track #1,317. I’m now up to 2,460 tracks. You guys had about 40 cars and I signed somebody’s hood. All the best, Randy

You visited Rice Lake Ice Racing (Rice Lake, WI.) back in 2008 and it was our pleasure to have you there that day, your review at the time was excellent and to see we made this list is totally awesome!!
Thank you,
Troy

If you’re ever in Sebring Fl, we are 10-15 mins from Sebring Speedway, We have 2 spare rooms, private bathroom. Please feel free to stay with us. There is a great “home track” in Bradenton Fl. Desoto Speedway about an hour from us. Dickie’s raced there twice. Got a 4th and a 3rd. Please remember to keep us in mind when in Fl.

I remember you guys fondly from my first ever day of ice racing up in Vermont. You and Dickie were the best! Enjoy Florida. All the best, Randy

Thank you! That was a special day for us too. Unfortunately Dickie and I have moved to Florida. So the track is no more. One guy tried to do it the first year, but said Dickie must have been crazy. He couldn’t figure out how Dickie and his brother kept it going.
