Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Got source![edit]

I own Bones' book on Richie (got it when it first came out), so I've added a bunch of details, and I'll be adding more in the next few days. I worked as handicapper and scorer at Shangri-La 1979-86 when Richie was either a part-timer or a regular. He won at least one track championship while I was there.

Wasn't "modified series" until 1985[edit]

I rephrased a couple of occurrences of "National Modified Series" because, until his final year, it wasn't a touring series but a division whose weekly races at many tracks counted toward the NASCAR national title. "National Championship" races scored more points than regular events, but they were occasionally scheduled against each other at tracks a few hundred miles apart. There was no single list that the Evans/DeWitt 61, the Cook/Hollebrand 38, the Boehler 3, the Koszela 15, the Barry 21, and all other championship contenders followed, as is the case today. Barno 03:09, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Added championships and wins[edit]

Nobody's been working on this page in months, so I did a bunch tonight. All his wins, and all his championships. Many of his Shangri-La wins (more there than any other speedway) were when I worked there 1979-86. Next I'm going to look for more references. I'll have to see how searchable the Stock Car Racing and Speedway Illustrated back-issue article archives are. Barno 04:53, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly, there was no help there. My best historical source lost his old SCR collection in a flood. I put requests out but haven't found copies. Barno 04:11, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

wins: 1970 Catamount in All-Star League[edit]

An anonymous contributor added a win to the list which is otherwise straight from the compilation in Bones' book. A search shows the win is mentioned in Phil Smith's column of highlights from old racepapers, but he doesn't cite his sources. Does someone have a paper or Gater yearbook or something so we can provide verification for this change to the published list? Barno 01:01, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was the person who added it since I have the source for the Catamount victory; I also sent it to Bones. The win list in the "Richie!" book was based on what I gave to Bones. I have access to some of Richie's Capital City wins, but it's not a complete list. Mark Southcott —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.231.219.81 (talk) 05:45, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Got a photo, but...[edit]

I don't really know which license I had to apply, so I told the truth: I found it on Google. It was on racingal.com in the context of NASCAR Hall of Fame nominees for 2011. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tommydeb (talk • contribs) 19:18, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
