Sonny told me that car was wicked fast, but "It felt like it was trying to romance you going down the straightaways."
Been offline since September. Finally caught up. Great stuff everybody. Thanx...
I wish I had a dollar for every time I walked away from a bull session wishing I had been holding a tape recorder. Some of those with guys like...
Love reading all the posts about Buzz, and the old White Front as well. Thanks, folks.
First V8 I saw in a sprint car was a Cadillac at Salem in the early 50s. Then, after three years overseas, the next were at the 1960 Memorial Day...
While awaiting separation the USAF on Memorial Day 1960, I got to see Danny Jones win the second half of a split 200-mile CRA champ car race at...
That Stude also competed often in ARCA in those days. I remember asking why he was permitted to run with a blower, and was told it didn't have a...
I think you're right, Rootie. I'm going to send it to some friends of mine who would know. This may have been the USAC stock car race on the...
I have to agree with the Rooman. Snake has always been polite and friendly with me, even before I went to work at IRP. One of my yearly highlights...
RIP to a class act. Prayers for the family and friends.
Not exactly way back, and the mods can delete this if it doesn't fit, but I thought the story line was proper considering the Volkswagen...
Been a fan for life as well as an official for many years, and read everything I can about motorsports in general. I continue to be amazed at what...
T I believe that 11 car Jack Lancaster in happens to be the Fetter Bros. Sprinter.
Still an outstanding thread. Happy New Year, everybody!!!
Jim's widow, Betty, is a good friend. Remarried and living in California now.
Tommy D., the photo of the 1963 1/2 Fastback is a classic. Dillman Furniture on the quarter, and all four names on the door. Thanks.
Bob, your point on convertibles is well taken. Remember the replica Oldsmobile 500 pace car we had at IRP? It flexed so bad USAC didn't want to...
Sorry I didn't save the text. Great photos, Gary. This looks to me like Leroy Warriner and Bob Tattersal.
Very cool, Keith!
Thanks, indyrjc.
Rootie's right on Norm Hall. It happened at the southeast corner of the property, outside of Turn 6. They were using the road course running...
Roo is usually on point on everything, but I seem to recall the D-A Tower being at the starting line.
Maggie, thanks for Post 98016. I actually saw Bill Cantrell run Horace Dodge's My Sweetie in an exhibition run on the Ohio River at Louisville...
Congratulations, Josh. Saw your sprint car in the GoodGuys magazine I got at PRI.
Good catch, good description Keith. I think that's Turn 8 of the old road course, leading to the straightaway that runs just south of the bridge.
Glad to hear Lou is up and walking around already, Bob.
Separate names with a comma.
