In this episode Royboy sits down to hear some of the stories of Racer Jimmy “Doc” Parsons in April 2014. He tells the tales of starting racing without his mother knowing until one day he came home with a race car, also how he met his wife at a hair salon, took her a few hundred miles away to watch him race the same day and came home married a few days later. Doc always had great stories.

Last Weekend’s Show: 2014 NSRA Southwestern Nationals held in Oklahoma City, OK
* Coverage Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4
* Lots of cars, stockers, mildly customized, hot rods, street rods, wildly customized, a few actual kustoms and everything else you can imagine
* Spectators everywhere, seems to be a theme this year. Good thing because it means that people are willing to spend money, in this case $15 a head to come to car shows, maybe a new boom in car building is on the horizon as well.
* Got to spend the day with my buddy Jared. He drove over from Tulsa to hang out at the show and it was great to walk around the event with a buddy that’s not quite as ate up with this whole car thing as I am, gave me a different perspective on some of the cars.
* After the show I followed him back to Tulsa, had dinner with him and his wife and then I passed out on the couch while the NASCAR race was on
* Sunday I went over to Doc Parson’s house with the intention of filming a feature video on his hot rod “Rowdy” but the weather was not cooperating.
* We mic’d him up and recordedalittle bit for you to hear here on the podcast.
* Doc Parsons was a racer for more than 5 decades all over the U.S. and abroad
* Stories that I got to hear but we didn’t get recorded told tales of gold prospecting in Peru, diving on shipwrecks and coming up with artifacts, building a car for some bigger tracks that USAC outlawed before it finished it’s 3rd race
* his shop was full of racing memorabilia that all means something to him whether or not it means something to the rest of the world.
