POSTED 11-19-07 OLD PHOTO OF TOMMY CLIMER IN 1987

I took this a BBR in 1987. In the #5 is Tommy Climer. I think the man to the right, and almost out of the picture is another drive, the late Billy McDaniels but I am not 100% sure.

POSTED 10-27-07 PHOTO FROM BEECH BEND RACEWAY'S 2007 AWARDS BANQUET

I took this picture of Late Model driver Tommy Climer and his wife. Tommy is from Tennessee. Tommy made some impressive moves on the track this year but at the banquet Tommy said he had excepted the Lord Jesus Christ in April. I am happy for you Tommy. Being a Christain doesn't mean that you have to be weak on the track, which Tommy isn't. Tommy you are the man!

POSTED 9-8-07 A NEW KING IN TOWN?

The best race of the night, no I should say the best race of the season. Years ago there was a racer that came out of Tennessee carrying the number 55 and was loved by a few but hated by others. Why? Because he won a lot of races and drove how ever he had too for the win. He was nicknamed the KING. Yes, James "THE KING" Climer. Well, the old saying goes, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, is right. James might get mad at me if he reads this but I will say it anyway, move over KING, there is a new KING in town. Last week I ran a poll which ask, will anyone beat Bo Miller with three races left? And more of you said no one could beat Bo Miller and his #38 machine. Tommy Climer comes in here out of Tennessee and proved that Bo can be beat at Beech Bend Raceway. Bo Miller is one of the best drivers to ever pull onto the flat track of Beech Bend Raceway and you can't take that away from him. And with this lost it doesn't say anything bad about Bo. On the other hand, Tommy didn't have the fastest car on the track. Tommy was all up on the wheel. He drove his race and refused to let Bo get in his head. Tommy held his line and would not be moved. One of the most impressive drives that I have had the chance to witness. Bo got into Tommy a couple of times and Tommy never backed out. One other thing, did you hear the fans in the stands? They cheered and clapped for Tommy like he was really the KING. Oh well, at least Tommy showed that you can live life as you dream and at least be KING for a night. I also think Tommy was very much a gentleman as he gave God thanks first and foremost for his safe race and win. Tommy welcome back to Beech Bend Raceway you showed class.
