POETRY IN MOTION

We see racing to day mainly on pavement,unless the Bell & Bell group post a photo or better yet a Video. So I saw this and it brought back some great memories of when I crawled into one of these and let wind blow. Man what was I thinking but what a ride it was !!! Did anyone else try the open cockpit racing ??

Hey, Johnny....

Check out the opening minute of the video clip below from 1995 ESPN Silver Crown coverage from Richmond. The sprint cars on the Richmond half-mile dirt in 1948 are from a reel of film I found in Richmond's archives and loaned to ESPN for the telecast of the first Silver Crown race at Richmond.

Check out the very, very young "Smoke!"
