A few years back,our 3 hotrods picked going too very back end of line,so we could drop about a 1/2 straight back from rest of cars,rule then was ,we could not pass any one. We then closed the gap,about 110mph in to turn 3,well we're not aloud to do that any more ,LOL
I kept wait for you to blow by the deuce Dana. HRP When we did that at Charlotte Motor Speedway I couldn't help myself and slowed down and got a running start and blew around three of my fellow club members in my '39 convertible, the promoters did think my passing other cars was to amusing and I was politely ask to get off the track. I honestly didn't hear them tell us you couldn't pass, pr maybe I just wasn't listening. Fortunately no one was harmed and I got to drive around the track the following day and adhered to the rules. HRP
I'll drive down next time to visit if you can get me in the parade, Dana! I did a similar thing a couple of years ago at Daytona for a vintage sports car race. They wouldn't let us on the banking, however, citing possible oiling problems on non-race prepped cars. We got nearly 4 laps, a partial lap to get on the track, then two in earnest (no passing) and another partial lap before pulling off. $40 seemed a deal especially since a couple of sporty cars had trouble keeping up with the little red truck.
Nice Dana! I think that's my neighbors T that was behind you. I bought a '39 Chevy from him years ago, great dude.
I was amazed at the amount of bank on the turns. I'm a drag racer, not familiar with NASCAR. The first time I got to drive our T on the Texas Motor Speedway, I was amazed at how much force it took to get to the top of the banks.

MANY years ago, we stayed at the Indianapolis Speedway Hotel for the (way) OT Cosworth Vega National Round-Up. As hotel guests, we were allowed to run the little Cosworths around the track for 4 ‘parade laps’. The old guy who opened the gate cautioned us to ‘keep it under 55’. As soon as we were out of his sight, The group of 20-30 black Vegas were 3 abreast at 110mph- flat out for the 2.0l four cylinder cars. The wide gently banked track made 110 seem like 55. One guy had his buddy video taping out the back of his open hatchback. They finally flagged us down and we posed for pictures at the brick finish line. Yeah, that was a fun day. I’ve been back to visit the museum and the place is special.
