I got the package from Wayne Doebling today, and here's the first entry for this thread. Gonna take some time to scan them all right now. Here's two great ones from the 70s in ARCA - Iggy Katona (30) and Les Snow at Winchester...
Who is Neal Castle??? The guy driving the car was at least 70m years old.

Art Malone drove the "Mad Dog IV" shown here at Bristol Speedway, to a new closed-course
world record of 181.561 mph at the Daytona Speedway in 1961.
Bill France had posted a $10,000 reward to the first person to crack 180 mph after a death
caused USAC to remove Daytona from their schedule.
Builder Bob Osiecki took an Indy car and a supercharged fuel injected 413 Chrysler bored to 450 cu in producing 800 hp on alcohol to do it.
Six other drivers including NASCAR great's Curtis Turner and Buck Baker tried their hands before
Malone got behind the wheel.
Several blown engines and many shredded tires later Malone ran an estimated 226 mph
on the straights and 170 mph in the turns to circle the track in 49.59 seconds.
It cost Osiecki $35,000 to win the $10,000 of which Malone got $2500!

Wow Les Snow was a heck of a driver.I was at Winchester when he wrecked I believe it was a career ending crash.I remember Dennis Miles shaking Les's car down at Winchester one afternoon(Les) was late getting to the track.He made a few suggestions about a chassis setting and Les got mad as hell at his crew for listening to Dennis.I remember Les was going to talk to Dennis but was stopped by his own crew chief telling him he (Dennis)could beat him on and off the track.Pretty funny back then anywayi can't wait to see some more of Wayne's stuff John brings back some great memories.Thanks for posting.
