Old time race car drivers used to have a knack for posing for pictures at a jaunty angle. Weatherly and Pagan are providing excellent examples of this in their start line photo, although neither can compare with the all time best Bob (King of the Jaunty Anglers) Welborn. Seifert and Moore obviously prefer crouching, and they're doing a nice job, but in my opinion the lateBobby Isaac will always be the best of the crouchers.
I'm really shocked that Ed Rowell in that '51 Henry J didn't bring it home out front.
Patrolman H. L. Ketcham proved to be true to his name!
You do a good job digging up the old articles, I enjoy them.
Looks like mechanic Dewey Livengood turned driver for 1 lap before the "steering" went out. Collected $200 though, while teammate Ken Rush had to run 295 laps to collect his $640!
Every time I see a picture of the Pete Hamilton Camaro, and the other GT cars too, it makes me long for race cars made out of real cars.
Yep, and in 1971 Dick Brooks won a Nascar GT race at Hickory, also driving a Toy Bolton Camaro, which I believe was # 95 by this time. I also believe (but not sure) that when Charlie Blanton won the ARCA race at Daytona in 1973, he was again driving a Toy Bolton Camaro.
