"EFI was lying like a coiled snake under NASCAR's table of serenity." - Now THAT's a way to turn a phrase. I like it.

And one of the few to see Maurice Petty compete as a driver!

A couple of days earlier, qualifying was held up for several minutes as the track became darkened from a full solar eclipse. See Dargan Watts pic & related article here:

The Superbird would not be denied. The King spins TWICE - and STILL beats Cale by 3 laps at Rockingham in the Carolina 500.

March 7, 1971: Petty cruises as Hyde fumes

Stock Car Racing History

DOH! Thanks for note. That's on me - not Greg. By-product of cranking through so many of these things I guess. Trying to proof them - but I'm still finding periodic typos in my stuff after entries post.

Stock Car Racing History

1971 Richmond 500 - Richard Petty's qualifying effort is tossed. He starts at the back and still goes on to win. Bobby Isaac and Harry Hyde get busted too but are allowed to keep Isaac's 3rd place Q run. Yet he still can't hang with the 43. Following the race, the 71 team picks up its toys and goes home for 2 weeks.
