Blast from the Past

A Holly Farms drive through



Diggin in at Wilkesboro

 

Short sleeves on the pit crew..... Wow

 

Not just short, but some serious polyester going on there. That's a whole other kind of "fire suit".

 

Those look almost like "stock" cars...

 

COT is why I quit watching or caring!! Bring back real cars!! John

 

looks to be about '73

 

Thanks guys. These pics are from 1976. The top one is from a superspeedway, either Rockingham or Darlington. Notice the front facia above the grille has been sand blasted.

 

Great pics from NASCAR's good days. Junior Johnson's #11 car with Cale driving. I think the #71 is Dave Marcis and that Charger ?? - maybe McDuffie?. Hard to believe both N.Wilkesboro and the Rock are history on the senior circuit. Both were great tracks.

 

look at the shoes

 

The 71 car is Dave Marcis and next to him is Frank Warren in the 79 Dodge.

If time allows there can be alot of old stuff put up here.

No helmets on the pit crew......and the Nascar Official behind the car is wearing Jeans....wow what happened to real racing. Might be why I only watch about 3-4 races a year.

 

I think that's a '73 or '74 Charger, not a '79.

 

Frank Warren's car number is # 79

 

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! The good old days. That's when the factories were ACTUALLY competeing against one another, not see who could put on decals the straightest.

Those times are gone forever and now I don't even watch the races because they're too boring.

 

dittttto

 

5,4,3,2......

 

ooops. sorry I thought you were referring to year of the cars.

 

No apology needed, my grammar was wrong

 

Good point, and no corporate movie themes and those pesky restrictor plates ...
