Podcast appearances and mentions of allen huffman

In this edition of "Raceway Ministries Today," NFRM Executive Director Roger Marsh interviews Allen Huffman, of Hickory, North Carolina.  Allen became a competitor with the South East Super Truck Series in 2023, and at the same time stepped in to fulfill duties as chaplain for the series.  Interestingly, Allen also won the championship for the series in 2023, while participating as both competitor and chaplain.  In this conversation, Roger Marsh talks with Allen about how he got into the series, how he became the chaplain for the series, and how the 2023 season transpired.  Allen describes how he was able to participate in both roles -- chaplain and racer.  He talks about the ups and downs of the season, how the challenges were overcome, and how he was able to minister to the series participants while racing with and against them throughout the 2023 season.Insights into Effective Raceway Ministries work at Speedways across America

In this episode we're joined by late model driver and future camping world truck series driver Allen Huffman to talk his racing journey and his story of losing his way and finding racing back through his faith and his journey that's led him all the way to verge of his Truck Series debut at Mid Ohio along with some interesting discussion about the NASCAR licensing process. We then discuss the weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway, our adventures around town and 3 exciting national series races including wins from Ross Chastain, Josh Berry and Denny Hamlin, a great battle between Berry and Allgaier and a thrilling Coca Cola 600. We talk Indianapolis 500 and Monaco F1 as well. We then shift to dirt and do a quick recap of the Outlaws at Atomic and Lawrenceburg, All Stars DH Port Royal and then move on to the NASCAR weekend coming up at Gateway along with Outlaws in Dakota's and All Stars at Atomic and Attica

Lead Lap Radio #256 - March 16, 2020 (Moncher, Allen Huffman) by Race Chaser Online

Today we'll announce a very special opportunity to join a private screening of the entire series of CoCoForever, created by D. Bruce Moore, and we'll hear from the cast, crew, and consumes of the series. A few special guests will also be invited, send an email to CoCoTALK@CoCoTALK.live with your entry, telling us _WHY_ you should attend the private screening. News stories for July 6 show:1) Jeff Teunissen (Deek on Discord) has started a public github for ALL C source code for OS9/NitrOS-9 (past and present), and includes parts of the C compiler itself. This is very much an ongoing work in progress, so if this is of interest to you, keep checking in on it periodically. He is also wanting anyone with C source code for OS-9/NitrOS-9 projects that he has not been able to find, to sent them to him and he will include them on his Github. As of July 3, in addition to the C compiler itself, he also has other language whose compilers were written in C (like Forth09 and XLisp), as well as enhanced utilities (like Help & CUTS).https://github.com/Deek/CoCoC 2) Ron Klein has an experimental (translation: expect bugs!) CocoPI3 git repo, so that the CocoPI3 can get automatic updates. Details & instructions here:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tTtsB-_iR7ECtPwY11cxcHeB9GSF8oaZszDFWWV3uNg/edit 3) Tony Cappellini shared some photos he had taken at one of the Color America Fests, held in the southern California around the mid-1980's. Steve Bjork makes a guest appearance, and has a photo shoot with a Quadrunner (I think some of these photos ended up in his interview with Color Computer Magazine). They also hooked the quad up so that it could literally control Steve's game Desert Rider (released by Tandy/Radio Shack). One of the Wayne Technologies CP/M cards makes an appearance, as well as other hardware and software. There is also a Q&A session with some local Coco luminaries of the time, that Tony would like help identifying.https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/permalink/10157299413497641/ 4) Allen Huffman gets a shoutout for his version of the Zimodem firmware (originally by Bo Zimmerman for the Commodores) for Simulant's Retro Wifi SI (Wifi RS-232 serial modem).

Today we'll announce a very special opportunity to join a private screening of the entire series of CoCoForever, created by D. Bruce Moore, and we'll hear from the cast, crew, and consumes of the series. A few special guests will also be invited, send an email to CoCoTALK@CoCoTALK.live with your entry, telling us _WHY_ you should attend the private screening. News stories for July 6 show:1) Jeff Teunissen (Deek on Discord) has started a public github for ALL C source code for OS9/NitrOS-9 (past and present), and includes parts of the C compiler itself. This is very much an ongoing work in progress, so if this is of interest to you, keep checking in on it periodically. He is also wanting anyone with C source code for OS-9/NitrOS-9 projects that he has not been able to find, to sent them to him and he will include them on his Github. As of July 3, in addition to the C compiler itself, he also has other language whose compilers were written in C (like Forth09 and XLisp), as well as enhanced utilities (like Help & CUTS).https://github.com/Deek/CoCoC 2) Ron Klein has an experimental (translation: expect bugs!) CocoPI3 git repo, so that the CocoPI3 can get automatic updates. Details & instructions here:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tTtsB-_iR7ECtPwY11cxcHeB9GSF8oaZszDFWWV3uNg/edit 3) Tony Cappellini shared some photos he had taken at one of the Color America Fests, held in the southern California around the mid-1980's. Steve Bjork makes a guest appearance, and has a photo shoot with a Quadrunner (I think some of these photos ended up in his interview with Color Computer Magazine). They also hooked the quad up so that it could literally control Steve's game Desert Rider (released by Tandy/Radio Shack). One of the Wayne Technologies CP/M cards makes an appearance, as well as other hardware and software. There is also a Q&A session with some local Coco luminaries of the time, that Tony would like help identifying.https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/permalink/10157299413497641/ 4) Allen Huffman gets a shoutout for his version of the Zimodem firmware (originally by Bo Zimmerman for the Commodores) for Simulant's Retro Wifi SI (Wifi RS-232 serial modem).
