Smith was asked about the number 77. “ I played hockey and baseball and that was my number so I just kept it”
The question about the funniest thing seen at a track usually stumps drivers for a minute. not so with Smith. He replied quickly. “ The fights. I always like the fights. I’m not much of a fighter myself though.”
“ The fire at Antigonish a couple of years ago and then Hughie Richard’s accident a couple of weeks ago were the worst I’ve seen” Smith answered in reply to the “Worst Accidents” question.
Smith went on to say “ I’m working right now at Frank’s (Frank Fraser) garage, putting Hughie Richard’s car back together. We’ve got it just about done. He’ll be out racing again next week.”
In closing, Smith was asked what he would like to see changed in racing. “A track closer to home that I could race on. That’s the only thing I would change. It’s hard to get sponsors home with no racing in the area. They can’t see me race so I can’t get sponsors which makes it hard on me.”
