Great question Butch. I don't put a lot of faith in TV's historical knowledge anymore and I'm glad you don't either. I hope you find out more about the Old Orchard Board track...let us know if you find anything. Those board tracks go back a long way racing bicycles since they really can't race on the old horse tracks because of dirt.

Pete--Wasnt that used to be called eavesdropping back in the day??
Johnny makes a good point...Define Intentional. JPM to Ryan Newman, Intentional. Carl Edwards to Brad Keselowski, intentional. Park the offender for the rest of the race (forget the 5 lap thing), no exceptions. Nascar should have a pretty good idea what is rubbin' and what is intentional. Just do your job and enforce it. They are too inconsistent.
Just my humble view.

Randy, that is a tough find, but I'll keep my eyes open. I know a couple of guys who are working on or built Supermodified replicas from the 60's because the originals are long gone. I'm sure the old coupes are out there somewhere, it's just finding them as you know. Have you checked with Allan Brown or Marty Blume at the MMSHoF? Another person you might check with is Bobby Williamson or Jack Walker if you can travel to South Carolina. They usually have their eyes open for originals but I realize you'd rather have a Michigan car.. Good luck!

Dave, hopefully it isn't dead and can continue to operate. Talk about a who's who in racing...WOW what a line up of drivers. How were the recent crowds and car counts at Southside?
