Stock Car Racing History
After being able to attend races at over 40 speedways due to mymilitary obligationsI can add a few. One track I have had the pleasure of attending had a Wet track race, where he placed several garden hoses around the track as to allow the water to cross right at the entry and exitspoints of the turns. Real exciting to watch.
Another had 2 very intriguing races.
ACalifornia stop sign race. Where the driver had to stop every lap at the start finish line and then continue. If you did not stop you were black flagged andDQ'd form the event.
The other event was a second car to complete 15 laps was the winner. That's right everyone ran 14 wide open laps and then stopped at the finish line as the cars in the back would ram the field to try and knock one car over then the scramble was on to be the second one to finish. Many photographers lined up with their cameras to capture this as it was always a photo finish.
Another had a fan favorite race called mother in law race. Where the driver was blindfolded and his mother in law sat on the passenger side and gave directions....funny as hell!
I am sure I will think of more later but those come to mind now!
