I see Hayden Eades racing an FF or FC in the midwest but have not heard anything in years about the great Dennis....
Last I saw him, maybe decade ago, he was in failing health, can anyone update me on Dennis Eades these days ?

Unfortunately he continues to be in a slow decline, but he does come out to the track when Hayden is racing.Quote:

We’ll be at the regional at Blackhawk in October.
I never knew Dennis very well...
But we have had several mutual friends over the years, and he was really nice to me as a kid when I hand-lettered a RT4 for him at, I think, the ‘84 Runoffs (where we are right now, except for it being at VIR).
(I painted a “Betamax race tape for sale” sign for James King at the ‘79 Sprints, too when 18, and believe it was also a ComPrep entry...?).
I’m glad to read he’s okay.

thanks for the post, now your job is to tell him something really rude, as he would only expect, from me and Tracy Carmichael Rand..... maybe something about the charges we want to bring when he stole the stupid pink flamingoes we had out when renting at Point Elkhart...
Man, I hope he remembers, we all snorted beer out our noses...
Knowing how much he despises emotion of any kind be sure to tell him Tracy and I love him and miss him....
Thanks Hayden,
Mike Rand
We still have those flamingos in the shop haha!! I always wondered why they were there. I will tell him tonight.
Hayden, well understanding what a true luddite your father is I doubt he does email ?
Or have a cell phone and texts ?
Love to chat with him, even text or email....
I see where Hayden Eades won FC at Blackhawk over the weekend, well done !
Tormenting FA and P2 cars must have brough a grin to Dennis's face !
Hayden, does your father do email or texting at all ?
If yes please pm me his contact info....

Hayden dominated! He's been the rabbit I've been chasing all year, and every time I feel like I'm starting to match his pace he goes and finds another half second or more the next session. Great driver and an even better sportsman.
Curious, does dad Dennis attend to torment young Hayden at the track ?
Sent ya a PM. You can call him for sure! He doesn't really email or text anymore but I'm not sure he ever did before!!Quote:
