Richie, That Bugs bumper sticker is priceless! I loved his (Bugsy) his book. Never met him, but he was sure an interesting character. Denny,...
Love the history, Denny. Keep the stories coming!
Thanks Denny. Rene was a key player in the first race I can ever remember watching. It was at the 1/2 mi. dirt track at the Monroe Co....
Hey....where is everybody? Denny Z....do you, perchance, have an update on how Rene Charland is doing?
Dr. John, The Bill Rafter coach in post 10,950 looks like an ex-Roger Treichler car. Is it? I thought I'd seen most of Rafter's cars, but...
Great pic of Rafter. It seemed every time I saw a picture of him w/o a driving suit he had on a Mac's t-shirt. He must have really like that...
Dr. John, I agree with you on the bodies. I can't tell one from the other, although some look "swoopier" than others, I guess. Don't even get...
JBull, I don't believe the #56 in your last post is Gary Iulg. It looks like a Soney Seamon built car to me, so I'm guessing maybe Norm Moyer or...
Dr. John, That clip crom Civic Stadium was way cool. I found it interesting to see that on his way to victory (The 8-Ball coupe is Ben Lalomia of...
Zoera / k9racer, Your posts sum up about 99% of the reason I haven't had a Legends car in my garage since 2005. It just wasn't fun anymore....
The late-great Nolan Swift raced his 10-Pins coupes before he switched to Super Modifieds at Oswego. I seem to remember hearing something about a...
I have a 1/25th scale model of Maynard's 1976 Pinto. kt has seen it and if I ever can remember when I'm home, I'll try to get a couple pics & post...
Shangri-la....Frank Lopke (sp) owned the track & land it was on, including the gravel. Toward the end of the track's life, he (I think) leased it...
Dr. John, That #5 Renshaw car is an ex-Osborn coach. Maybe his last before going Sprint car racing. I always liked the "look" of it the best of...
Zoera, Yes...what Dr. John said. Car looks like a very cool project. Keep us posted. Dr. John, Great story regarding Ed Ortiz. I remember when...
Speaking of the Daytona Permatex race....I can't remember the year (somewhere between 68-71, I think) that Dutch Hoag ran 2nd to Lee Roy...
Bones, I know, I know....it's not all determined by NASCAR. Guess what I should have said was....thanks to all on the committee, including the...
You know, I actually regained some respect for NASCAR yesterday. They did the right thing by Richie, but there truly wasn't anyone that got in...
All, The discussion on what is vintage or not has been very interesting reading. I had no idea my original post would generate so much...
JChimbola - Post #10271: Vintage cars...with sanctioning groups like the VSCCA for sports cars, the cars must be restored to period correct specs....
Just you and me, Denny, apparently! OK, here's one of may favorite cool looking coupes. Art Barry's "Stump Jumper" from (I think) @1971 with the...
Quiet today. No posts since yesterday at Noon?
Bones, I totally agree regarding how cool looking some of those Southerm Modifieds were. The Tant-Mitchell coupe was my all time favorite, but I...
JBull, Blue #50 coupe is Denis Giroux
JChimbolo, There's a go-kart track just South of Syracuse, NY that used to have a class that used those West Bend engines. The guy that ran it...
New Britain, You are, as the English would say, spot on with your comments!
OK...last comment on Bodine....I never said he spun everyone in front of him out, I merely said he never hesitated to use his bumper. And just...
Moselli, as usual, has hit the nail squarely on the head!
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...
Woodguy, Those are some great looking & well detailed slot cars. Thanks for sharing. Comment(s) on Bullfather's posts 10021 & 10020....the #2...
