New Website Help - Questions, Answers, and Tips
Administrative
Is there a way to search within subsets of the site as we had at the old joint? When I click the magnifying glass and entered a search term, I get a sampling from all areas from across the site - photos, posts, videos, groups, members. For example, I want to be able to search just within photos AND have the results return more than the 4 pics I'm currently getting.

Looks like tags for photos and forum posts didn't transfer from the Ning site to the new one. As a test, I tried to add multiple tags to one of my photos. After adding the first one, the site had me wait 1 minute before adding another. Any reason for this delay? I find multiple tags help with searches. Yet I don't plan to wait 1 minute between each tag I want to add. Thanks.
December 13, 1967 - Petty crew recognized
Stock Car Racing History
On Wednesday, December 13, 1967, at Yarborough's Restaurant in Lexington, NC, Bruce Hayes of Hayes Jewelers recognized the championship-winning Petty Enterprises crew with the inaugural Landmark Diamond Achievement Award.
Maurice Petty was formally presented a plaque for the achievement. Interestingly, Chief was acknowledged as the head of the team vs. Kenneth D. Inman (known to most as Dale). The King presented each crewman a smaller, replica trophy for their contributions to the team.
I haven't found any clippings to indicate if there was ever a second or beyond award in subsequent years.

Nashville drag strip - Richard Petty question

Good call. Curiosity got the best of me. Went to Nashville library at lunch today and crawled through microfilm.
Nashville drag strip - Richard Petty question
Drag Racing History
Over at Stock Car RacersReunion today, Tim Leeming started a post about the July 25, 1965 Bristol Grand National race.
http://racersreunion.com/community/forum/stock-car-racing-history/25663/racing-history-minute-july-25-1965
It was Richard Petty's first GN race since NASCAR and Chyrsler reconciled their differences. But Petty also had a commitment that same weekend to run drags in Nashville. He flew multiple times between Nashville and Bristol to hit both events.
As a Petty fan lifer, now I'm trying to figure out WHERE he raced in Nashville. Could it have been at Union Hill near Ridgetop? Or perhaps at a track I didn't even know existed until this afternoon: RIverside Raceway just beyond west Nashville? Curious if anyone here might know.
