Salem superstocks. I am standing at the top of the track taking the picture in the upper right photo to show how high Salem is banked. with the low ASA cars you could only see about seventy five feet in front of you so the driver would look out the side window to judge his position on the track.

[allstarracing]

More Salem no. 31 is Roland Issacs. no. 18 is Mike Landeher and the 17 is Randy Sweet

What a great post!!! I never thought some of those "late model" cars would look so wicked all cut up like that. Makes me want to build one for the street and scare the hell out of people on the street with one. My question to all of you is,

Do you view NASCAR as the evil super power or a help to the sport?


Like me I view the NHRA not giving credit due to the past and just kind of push it off. Don't you all think it would be cool if the two powers above would have traveling museums that would show the fans now where this all got started at each of the races that they all hold.

Danny Dean at New Breman again. I think it is Ray Young be hind him.

I agree NASCAR and NHRA have morphed into the evil powers. NASCAR wants to play games with allocating races to anyone except tracks owned by the France empire and Bruton Smith i.e. the Kentucky Motor Speedway fiasco which now seems will get a date because Smith now owns it.. All of the Sprint Cup tracks except New Hampshire and Pocono are controlled by the two. It seems NASCAR would like to eliminate Smith but he has gotten too strong and controlls too many tracks and would start his own series and split up the dynasty if NASCAR pisses him off.

NASCAR has gotten away from the core of racing. Martinsville,Bristol and Dover. Greatest door to door side by side paint swapping what racing should be type racing. Too many cookie cutter follow the leader tracks with strung out races and the restrictor plate races are a joke. The only reason to watch them is the wrecks. That is sad to say as I have been a driver for forty years and was a NASCAR sportsman owner and driver in the late sixties and early seventies. Go back to the basics. Good old short track Saturday night or Sunday type five hundred lappers. Give us door to door shetmetal swapping races. God I hate fuel millage races. THAT'S "NOT" RACING. STOP IT.

NHRA is just as bad with its computer racing. Top fuel, funny car and prostock fields not full and some with only enough to make a sixteen car field this year, "DISCUSTING". Take the computers, air multi stage clutches and clutchless shifted transmitions away and make em' race by the seat of the pants again. Allstarracing
