So What if the Grandstands Just Burned Down? We've Got a Race to Run! Where's the Easter Bunny?

[quote="Dave Fulton"] I never heard that, Jim. Wish I could have met Joe. [/quote]

Dave,  

Did you write :

So What If The Grandstands Just Burned Down? We've Got A Race To Run! Where's The Easter Bunny?


Or did Jim write it? 

Who is Jim?

I think you wish you met Joe Weatherly.

WHAT DO THESE HAVE IN COMMON? ANY GUESSES? KEEP READING.


Stock Car Racing History

It been over 2 years when this was posted and no guesses?

THERE'S GOT TO BE STORY OR TWO OF WHAT THIS 1983 RICHARD   PETTY ADVERTISEMENT AND DALE EARNHARDT SR., UNION 76 RACESTOPPERS, BUSCH BEER, WINSTON CUP VICTORY LANE SIGN SLOGAN, TEXAS JEANS, AND GAY TOYS INC. HAVE IN COMMON.

#1. In the MODINE advertisement page, Richard Petty is wearing an blue/white striped RACEMARK firesuit that has sewed on its left collar an small blue/yellow WRANGLER lettering patch?

#2. Behind Richard Petty is #43 STP Pontiac with an TEXAS JEANS decal on it, that was partially covered up with "Congratulations Richard Petty 25 years King of Nascar.

#3. On right arm of RACEMARK firesuit, there is an sponsor patch botched-it out in blue to match the blue RACEMARK firesuit?

Could smiling Richard Petty is senting an message to TEXAS JEANS for more sponsorship money ?

Harry Gant Sportsman


Stock Car Racing History

[quote="Brandon Miller"]

I'm looking for pics of Harry Gant's orange #77 Sportsman Chevelle. There were several pictures of it (or a clone) sitting outside of a garage before the site changed over. I didn't save them now and cannot find them. Any help?

Maybe this is what you're looking for?

Zion XRoads Speedway, Hilltop Speedway & Central Va. Raceway Were All the Same Track on U.S. 250


Historic Speedways and Ghost Tracks

[quote="Dave Fulton"]

Dennis, those late 40s / early 50s mostly color photos you found from the collection of Ed Rosebury of stock car racing at Virginia's Zion Crossroads Speedway are just outstanding.  It would be cool if there was somebody out here who could identify the drivers.

Dave or Chase,

How did you post your large photos to this forum?

Only photos that I can attach file is like my screenshot_2017-02-28-15-10.jpg .

Looks like the 1/4 right side of large photos are still not shown on the screen?

But if you open  or copy them, you will get to see them as whole photo shot.

I think Chase knows how to post the photos so they will look and act right.

Racing History Minute - 1962 Daytona 500


Stock Car Racing History

[quote="TMC Chase"]

Race program

[/quote]

After close exam of 1962 Daytona 500 program cover:

Any race history on the NASCAR Midget Races at Daytona International Speedway?

Any race history on the NASCAR Drag Races at Daytona International Speedway?

Wonder if NASCAR Hall of Fame know anything of these races?

Let Me Know What Problems You're Having Posting


Using The Site

Jeff,

Have you noticed on the Activity or Home page (middle section) that are member/members repeating themselves liking the same photo gallery two or three times, creating a new gallery, or listing about (20) YouTube videos of non-racing videos?  Is this an accident or what is going on?
