Remember When


By-Cody Dinsmore

Remember when -- when racing was considered a sport only for the ones with the most guts and adrenaline? Even though some women raced, it was known as a “Man’s Sport”. Back when racers were the toughest, built from moonshiners, grease-monkeys, and war veterans. When the cars were built from junkyard cars and by the end of the day, if it was all tore, up, you had to find time away from your real job to work on it. Only if you were in the big leagues did you have the money to build another monster. Most drivers of the day raced their moonshine cars or some backyard jalopies. Heck, some even used their family’s own means of transportation.
