Who Knew NASCAR Once Had A Midget Car Division?


Stock Car Racing History

I Attended the June Race in Greensboro. The one that Reynolds was killed. I'll never forget it, because Ralph Ligorie went to the car owner and while wiping the blood from the seat begged him to let him finish the race. We all were a little crazy back then!

I can remember racing against one of these at Bowman Gray in the early 50s


General

Back then I was fairly fast at running. 10.3 100 yard dash, but it handled real well in BG's flat corners.

He didn't move over for Curtis Turner and was knocked into the Field House.

Ed Sanseverino is one of my Facebook Friends.

The other day he posted a utube Bill Blair Flat Head Ford Movie on Facebook.

The restored 39 Ford Flathead that Bill Blair ( I assume his Son or Grandson) drove was equiped with a Movie Camera and Mic.

I enlarged the screen to Full and turned up the sound.

It was like I was sitting in a coupe in 1951.

I was in Heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I was financhally able to Restore a Coupe and re-live it it for real.

I remember whenever and wherever I traveled I was on the lookout for 3/4 ton junked trucks.

In 52 I saw one in a field up around Reidsville, but had no money to buy it.

I told Perk Brown about it and Three weeks later he showed me it on his car at Bowman Gray.
