Only took me six months to realize an error I made last spring.
True: The 1973 Dogwood 500 was scheduled for March 25th.
False: Tony Curtis' pics were NOT from that day because the prelim 250 LMS race was rained out after 84 laps as Dave's article referenced. The modifieds didn't race at all that day.
True: The twin bill was rescheduled for Sunday, April 1. But... rain intervened yet again & the race was reset for tax day, April 15th.
True: The races were rescheduled for a third time for May 13th - and they finally were held that day. Ray Hendrick won the LMS first race, and NASCAR HOFer Jerry Cook captured the modified event.
That will seriously drain a race promoter's bank account to have staff ready and on-site, only to have an event postponed - 3 times!
