Part of the dilemma is that, unlike a lot of other areas of racing, there has not been that much attention paid to, or historical recording of,...
What I meant was that the most well-funded teams will spend what, by historic standards, is a considerable amount of money in order to get another...
Has any recent Modified series tried running with a spec tire, one with little enough grip that an extra 20 hp is of no use?
Yes and no. Money has always made a difference, but it used to be that that difference could be compensated for by cleverness, skill and hard...
A few points that represent one man's opinion, if I may: - I'd disagree that no one was bothered when, starting in the mid-'70s, there were 2 or...
I guess that nobody, either, mentioned to Ryan Newman that it doesn't take a lot of class to come into a much lower-bucks series with a big-bucks...
Assuming that this is the original car: [IMG] I believe it normally resides in the Wood Brothers Museum.
I think you may get some friendly disagreement on this thread about who was ahead of whom.;) Certainly in the early '60s, the top New England boys...
The 90 and 91 were Junie Donlavey's cars. Are you saying that he went to H&M, who in turn went to the Wood Bros, to have these cars built?
Ah, so. If that's Trenton, it could have been LeeRoy Yarbrough in the Donlavey car.
Outside front row, #91: Junie Donlavey coupe, usually driven by Sonny Hutchins.
A bit of a long shot, but would anyone know anything about this race? I believe this was 1971. Thanks.
Speaking of Gary Danko's Show, does anyone have an idea of how to download or listen to this particular weekly edition of it?:...

Unlike pro baseball (or football, basketball, etc.), which is an association owned by the collectivity of franchises and exists independently of...
Guys, As Bones says, "There's no room for nice gestures". They're choosing 5 people/year, total. The process is that a nominating committee...
I go there most years, and have the annual photo books (covering both FoS and "Revival" events) since about year 2000. I may have missed...
Please check out Coolhand's post above, #10223. The length of an individual post (or any number of individual posts strung together) does not...
To add slightly to Coolhand's helpful comments, you, the one doing the quoting of another post, can edit that other person's post however you...
These babies weren't bad either: [IMG] [IMG]
None of my business, I don't think, but it might help if you were to give folks here a hint about to which one of the 10,000+ posts, and even...
Yes, Jan, this is an absolutely critical distinction. P. B. Crowell was not in the business of distributing beer on trucks. He was in the business...
I don't know enough even to have an opinion on which was the greatest season. Notwithstanding my ignorance, what interests me is what makes up a...
Not that it really matters but, if you could have the smaller, lighter rotating mass on only one axle, wouldn't the effect be about the same...
Your suspicion right, that's Gene Bergin driving the car. The top and bottom photos are of the first 2x Pinto. Eddie only drove that physical car...
Thanks. I'm not the world's biggest fan of the English, although they do have some good expressions. My favorite ("favourite") is, "and then it...
I might be completely off-base, but I think that the middle and lower photos, with the writing on them, were done by Fred Smith. AIUI, his photos...
In Europe, they do talk about it, quite a bit in fact. The main difference, I'd say, is that in Europe the vast majority of racing is in either...
From Bones's book, an anecdote from Ron Bouchard: Circumstances were a race at Thompson, Eddie Flemke in the lead: "I'm sitting...
a) Do you reckon Bodine's reception from the fans might have been related to his driving techniques? b) Do you think that Bodine's equipment was...
