There may be a few on here that can remember this

Some of you may remember going to the races and setting in the stands of your choice or even one that was uniquely call the name of your favorite car. You do remember when you could really tell them apart even on the backstretch at Talledega. They each had their own characteristic look on the track.

Today it seems the current look of cars are going back to what some of our famous members on R/R drove. Remember what kind of a car Billy Biscoe drove? Or what car did Sam Ard drive--or that tiger named Pistone,you remember him? Ok I will get a little more recent. What kind of car did A guy named Jeff Gilder drive , Or do you know the first car he drove?--or if you can remember the make of Tim Leemings car he drove to success.

OK one more,a hard one, what was the make of Harry Gants famous ride that took him to fame?

I've seen an Ed Sanseverino photo of Billy Biscoe at Trico in a 6-cylinder #38, maybe a '55 Chevy or '56 Ford?

I recall most of Sam's Thomas Brothers cars being Chevelles and Novas, but his NASCAR titles came in Oldsmobiles.

One of my fondest memories was seeing Tiger Tom set the all-time Richmond dirt track qualifying record in 1966, in that powder blue #59 1964 FORD that NASCAR for a short while let the Ford guys bolt two 4barrels on during the Ford factory boycott.

By the time that Gilder fellow was driving I couldn't tell one make from another - but seems that yellow #51 Underdog at Kingsport resembled one of those DW Chevy Luminas.

Seems that Legend feller always had a Mayflower on his steering wheel to denote PLYMOUTH Rock.

Although Handsome Harry wheeled Chevys, Buicks and Pontiacs, it was an Oldsmobubble in 1991 that gave him his new nickname of "Mr. September" when he won 4 consecutive September Cup races - at Darlington, Richmond, Dover and Martinsville and just missed the 5th - at N. Wilkesboro.

In the early days at Charlotte, the Grandstands were named GM, Chrysler and Ford. My crowd refused to ever sit in the Ford grandstand!

Way to go Dave!!! Good questions too, Johnny.

I did wheel a Plymouth in '69,'70 and '71. 1972 was a Chevy for a few races and 1973 was a Ford. They didn't have those Jap Traps back in those days so I missed that manufacturer.

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.

No photos of Legend in a Studebaker.
