YOU ROCK DAD——I LOVE YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wish I knew enough about working on race cars, to be able to get on Hershel’s crew. Just have to be satisfied doing the drywall remodel work on their house. Win some races, I’m sure Sherrie has a few more ideas for the house………lol
Give them hell Hershel.

Hershel, Nice to see a man is such great shape. Thanks for signing the 53 ford panamerica cars hood. The car was painted at fords test factory for the 100 years of ford. Your addition makes it perfect. regards Frank McKinnon
I remember watching you in Portland Oregon, at the Portland Speedway, racing against Dick Bown my entire family fell in love with you. My son idolized you, we have pictures of him with you when you were driiving the 04 car, sponsored by Olympia Beer..he was 4 then and now he is going on 40 and still idolizes you!!! Keep up the good work, you are the greatest

Hi Hershel,
It was great reading the article on you, @ http://www.oregonlive.com. The years have been very kind to you. I hope I make it to my 80’s. Heck, I hope I make it to my 60’s. It was nice to see a photo of JR, too.
I can’t believe, we were all at Le Mans in 1976.(the monster car) The years, do go by way to quickly.
I won’t miss the next time you race at PIR. Say, your 85th B-Day!
Thanks for the memories.
Stay well…Sherry
wow as a kid growing up we spent every weekend at the portland speedway during the time when it seemed like Hershel and the oly express was unbeatable.
he was my dads favorite driver and has allways been my favorite driver aswell. i race nascar on line and i some times paint up my cars with Hershal’s old paint sheems and ill tell ya its alot of fun. I did not know Hershal was intown racing at pir or i would hae certainly been there to see my Hero and a legend. I would love to see a more detailed pic of the car he ran at pir if possable old one to if possable lol.
Hershel McGriff, dude it was sure great to see you behind the wheel again, after all those years, of racing you could do it blindfolded,you showed the world that age shouldn’t stop a person doing what they want to do,hope to see you in utah, thank for the memories, ERNIE,SHARON TRUJILLO
Hershel,
I am a believer that an old guy can get ‘er done. What a way to show ’em! I was really proud to watch you race via Telecast on my computer, nice looking car! Wish I could be there to watch you race to a first place finish, cause its going to happen!
Sherrie, keep up the good work on the follow up!
Love you guys,
