Tom Higgins Scuffs - Darlington

Several of Tim Leeming's recent Racing Minutes lately have focused on many of the spring Darlington races. With those discussions and Saturday night's Cup race at Darlington, I found Tom Higgins latest Scuffs column a good - and funny -read.

Also, I noticed in his Twitter feed that he'll be a guest on Motor Week Live THIS Monday night - May 13 - at 7 PM ET. Confirmed it here:

Now if only we could get him to join RR as a sho-nuff member...

Thanks, Chase. That was a really good read and, you're right, funny too!

Just found some video of the 72 Southern 500. The Baker-Brooks incident begins around 3:50.

Thanks, Chase! That is some awesome footage. We were sitting on top of the motorhome right behind victory lane, about 15 to 20 of us, watcing all that. Great to see it again.

Sure does seem like they had better camera angles back in the Seventies. You can actually see more than two cars at the same time. I wonder why they don't still do that? Oh that's right, you can't read the sponsors decals. Wouldn't want to miss out on any of that payola surrounding free product placement.
