    Default Julian Cock's

    This little story goes back to WC Lanier. Julian Cocks drove for WC we were at a race in Columbia SC. At this time the promoters of these races were looking to make every dollar they could. They started to have radio stations send a truck to broad cast the race an play that loud music all day. They had other events also, one was a bikini contest after the race. At this race Julian had not done so good. He had a beautiful wife name Cheryl ,so after the race he is drinking beer with some friends when Cheryl comes up an says Julian i'am going to enter the bikini contest Julian said like blank you are. Cheryl says they are paying $200.00 to win. Julian said go get your bikini baby. She should have won but they gave it to a local girl. She came back with $150.00 for second place and said, I did pretty good for 30 minutes work how much did you win ? Julian said just get in the car an let's go home. They were some real nice people. They even gave us their house to stay in at a race in Wilmington NC. Unfortunately about three years ago Julian passed away at age 56.

    We'll pray for you to keep all of your foot and heal quickly Danny, knowing up front that that will happen.
