I had the pleasure to meet this fine racer today. This story is about John Messina (Pictured above). John was telling me that back in 1973 he came to Bowling Green and raced at Beech Bend Raceway Park. The funny part of this story was that he took his bike apart and hauled it in the trunk of his car. While other teams had nice trailers. John also said, his son would ride on the old wooden rides at Beech Bend Park while they were here racing. As we talked John expressed his thanks to Dallas Jones and family who has really made Beech Bend Raceway and Park so nice and clean. John said he really likes this track and was glad that the Jones family got the track fixed back after the big flood back a couple years ago. John's bike has the name "Time Tunnel" on it. He is from Warren, MI. John has been racing bikes for 52 years. Thanks John for the interview. We now have another racing friend. Good luck John this weekend and in the 2012 season.
