that is awesome

 

That was bad ass!!! I love that fairlane

 

helmets jeans and button down shirts rad

 

I like how the cars actually look like what they are based on. Why don't they still do that? "Car Of The Future" my a**

 

Now those were real stocks cars and real drivers! None of that let's all be equal and play by the rules crap like they have today. Funny, no Turd-yotas in that there race!!!

 

too cool.

 

Nothing there now guy!

 

That was great!!! Thanks for the video.

 

It looked liked one driver had slacks and dress shoes on..... Awesome

 

It's too bad about all the drivers like Fireball Roberts that lost their lives in the cars, a "stock car" without today's safety features have no business out there trying to run 200 mph on superspeedways. NASCAR isn't perfect, but dog done it they are the biggest motorsport in the country.

You'd really like to see some stock Ford Fusions and Chev Impalas out there racing with their FWD layout? Come on, times changed.

 

git r dun

 

I cannot open anything on this. Did the link drop out?

 

holy crap...ive panic stopped from 60 on drums....never almost 160! wow.

 

Still works for me.

 

Feb 13, 1960-NASCAR Modified race, Daytona Fl.

4 abreast in turn 1! That's nuts!

 

I think Cale Yarborough had a great story in his book about this. Seems a guy hired Cale to drive a converted 55 Chevy drag car in that race, early injected sbc stroker, straight axle and all. Cale said the handling was absolutely frightening, all over the place in traffic but ran like a scalded dog alone, thanks to an unknown percentage of nitro. He qualified fifth fastest, passed for the lead soon after the re-start, then scattered the engine and ran over his own crankshaft on the next lap.

 

A couple of 53 Studebakers!

 

Cale was one cool dude, still is I'm sure. He gave some of his winnings back in the day to the school he went to as a kid.

 

crazy!

 

Lady luck comes through again

 

I can't lie, I think I cried a little lol....Funny to think about a time when all those cars were "Just a car" and were treated like we would treat a '92 S10 today!

 

Those were the days when you could tell one make from another.

Now its just a new version of IROC.

Well they can have it.

 

68 cars! NUTS. Notice all those empty seats in the stands.

 

man that was cool!!!does anybody know who the narrator was.the race was before my time but the guys voice,it seens that everything that i remember from old tv and ads he narated it.

 

stock gas tanks too...

 

look at that, not 1 toyota in the race! ah, the good ol' days.

 

My old ears are gone, but I think the narrator is Bud Lindeman (sp?). I think he was the same guy doing the old films on Dale Jr's show "Back in the Day"

 

That was stock cars, not fake cars like we have now.

 

That's because back then they were built from real cars.

Beats me, but it's perfectly ludicrous to refer to a Sprint Cup car as a "stock car" if you ask me.
