Wish they still had that old scoreboard. It was WAY better than the one that's benn there for the last 25 years or so.

Joe,I hear ya!...Do you remember back in the 70's when the scoreboard would clock the leader, then do the second placecar...And flash the times to the crowd to show that'she catching the leader or not!
@joe-smithson13 years ago
I remember that very well, Randy and that's what appears to be happening in this shot. 115 laps on the board and the time isaround 2 seconds off what the top qualifiers would have turned at the time.

I also remember some races when many of the light bulbs were burned out. It was like trying to read Morse code. Oh man! Dot-dot-dash is leading again!

Seriously, as a kid, I do remember following "time trials". I'm not sure where I bought into the single word "qualifying". Isn't each car on the track qualified to be there? Time trials is far more descriptive of that give it all ya got lap.
