Stock Car Racing History
Thanks for the link
Alex,I was looking at your friends site all of those coupes brought back memories. I lived in new England as a young boy and went to races at Seakonk and the old Norwood Arena.
I would rather watch the old coupes than get a free ticket to Daytona. It was a wonder more drivers did not get killed, some of those cars were not put together that well.
My dad and his brother raced in Penn. at Pottstown and the old Municipal Stadium in Philly they used drive shafts for the roll cage in the car. My uncle raced with a T shirt slacks and a pair of wingtips with a cigar hanging out of his mouth.
I realy enjoy seeing pictures of late models from the 70's and 80's that was some of the best racing i have ever seen.
I used to go to Langley Speedway and the old Richmond Fairgrounds. I started going to Langley in 1961 when it was still dirt and they raced the old modified coupes.
Yearn for the old days, this all changed when big money came on the scene.
I move to NC in 2007 and Bruces's shop was still there and Bruce was t work everyday. You should be able to find the shop in the online yellow pages. He was on Azalea Garden Road in Norfolk, Va.
Bruce had a son Phil that was a very good driver also.
I was at that race, i was just 14. The cars stretched from the start finish line to in between th 3rd and 4th turn.
God I was in Bruce Warren's Garage on Azalea Garden Road in Norfolk Va. a few years ago and the walls had many pictures and articles about Bruce.
