[00:00:00] BreakFix’s History of Motorsports series is supported in part by the International Motor Racing Research Center, as well as the Society of Automotive Historians, the Watkins Glen Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Argettsinger family. I’m always up for the story of the small town boy making it to the big time.
July August Breeze 2011 Part 1
And our featured speaker today is that, essential. I’m also a big fan if the small town boy is from around here. And by this area, I mean Southern New York, Northern Pennsylvania. Mr. He’s a post boy who grew up in the dusty bullrings of Five Mile Point Speedway and Pencan Speedway.
And once it’s a friend I know from the small town that did it right, that’s the trifecta for me. I’ve known Steve for about 25 years now, I think. He was a horrible guy then, he’s a horrible guy now. It took us three years to get here, [00:01:00] in part because he has a crazy, crazy schedule.
And what I’m happy about, and I think you’re going to be interested in hearing about, is you’re going to hear about NASCAR and the drivers and all that cool stuff. But this is really Steve’s personal journey. This is the story of a boy from Halstead, Pennsylvania who made it to the big time.
There are eight people who have announced on the Motor Racing Network. And Steve is one of them. He played the small town boy on the big stage. He played the local boy on the big stage. And a guy I know personally. That’s it for me. I will introduce Mr. Steve Post. Thank you very much Thank you for coming. steve Alright, thanks Kip.
Complaints About At&t
Thank you As Kip talked about, it took about three years to put this together, and I’m really impressed that Kip wanted to put it together. As he said, we’ve known each other for about 25 years, and Kip went on bus tours. And I remember one of the first bus rides we did was a group from the WeGo Racing fan club.
We moved to New Hampshire. And the exciting part about Kip bringing me back is because I was surprised [00:02:00] he dropped me off on the bus back from New Hampshire. Once upon a time, I enjoyed ice cold drinks. And in many cases, I enjoyed several cold drinks. So here we go on this bus trip to New Hampshire, and it was when Stroh’s Beer introduced the 30-pack.
Oh, are you kidding me? 30 packs of beer. So I took a 30 pack out on the bus to New Hampshire. We get to New Hampshire, park across the street, and the racetrack has six lanes of bumper-to-bumper traffic. So we’re playing Frogger, trying to get to traffic. I have my Stroh’s 30 pack that I take to the racetrack in one of those super handy styrofoam coolers with a nice wire handle.
I get halfway through playing Frogger in six lanes of traffic, the handle breaks, the cooler hits the floor, and the beer goes everywhere. Even though I don’t want to waste my beer investment, [00:03:00] I do the best I know how to do, and I pull up my shirt, and I’m rolling beer cans while all the cars are getting hit. their horns and people laughing and calling cats.
Complaints About At&t
And I probably had six or eight beers close to my shirt there. And I look up and there’s Kip across the fence line, crossed, laughing, laughing at the mere moment I’m trying to collect my beers, laughing at the shame that this is part of his town. These are his team.
And here we go. One of the best examples. So first things first. Kip, I’m glad you let me get back on the bus back from New Hampshire, and I appreciate you being here, and I’m glad you all joined us on this snowy, icy day. So the story begins like this, and it begins with an announcer. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
This is Dusty Doyle once again at Five Mile Point Speedway, your home speedway in the Southern Tier. I was a little kid, and my life and my passion started every Saturday night with those words. Dusty Doyle, five mile point speedway, [00:04:00] to the races with my dad. And I loved being at the racetrack.
And I loved listening to Dusty Doyle announce the races. There were Dusty Doyle isms out there. When a car came out of the second turn, it went up, up, up, up, up the backstretch. And you know he was doing time. You may or may not have been, but Dusty Doyle sold you out. That car goes faster than any car in the history of Five Mile Point ever through the third turn.
Weekend Open Thread — May 25-26, 2024 — Ask A Manager
One of my favorites is a mysterious character named Andy. We are careful. We are coming from rounds three and four, ready for the green. And the phrase was, Andy, leave it! We all wondered who Andy was. The flag wasn’t Andy, the flag was Joe Winterstein. Who is Andy? But every time we turned green, Andy, let him!
And actually there’s a Facebook name, Andy, let him, now out. In honor of Dusty Doyle. The Dusty Doyle isms were so funny. When the heat rays came out and there were 13 cars. He would say 12, and another [00:05:00] car, because saying 13 at the racetrack is not good luck. It was always that.
And when we did that moment at the beginning of the night, ladies and gentlemen, would you please stand? Let’s remember who we are, what we are, and where we are for one stanza of our national anthem. Dusty Doyle isms, a broadcaster with a passion for racing, a guy I never met, but a guy who had such an impact on me along the way.
My roots in racing go back before I was born. My dad, ever dad, I wouldn’t put a year or a decade on it, my dad was a mechanic, there was a race in New Milford, Pennsylvania called Buzz Gulick, and Buzz’s grandstunts still race at the track, but Buzz Gulick he drove locally in Pen Can, and my dad was a mechanic on his own car before I was born.

Dad decided at one point that he was going to raise a family and do some horse shows and maybe some other things that weren’t compatible with working on a race car, so he decided to take the family and take us to the races. and that’s what we did. Almost every night of my childhood we went to the races on the road.
It was an amazing childhood. It really was. And [00:06:00] we used to go to Five Mile Point Speedway on Saturday nights. Pen Can was our Friday night track, but at the time, in the early 70s, Pen Can was very successful. One year, a club was running. Another year, another club was running. They would start in May.
They were due in August. They would start in August. They would finish in September. It was very successful. So a lot of my memories are from Five Mile Point Speedway in the Binghamton area. And so many great memories. We think about racing and we talk about racing now. And one of the past events that we used to have at the races, which I don’t see too much of, is the children’s rides.
We don’t seem to see that too much. I think they are important because I remember riding Wally Locke’s J 10 car at the five mile point Speedway. And that was 45 years ago. I remember climbing in and sitting on the side rails. And the roar of red
