Tim and D.W. riding around together

Stock Car Racing History

In the true spirit of Christmas in the air
, and being the true Legend you say
, I have invited D.W. to my lair
to celebrate the wonderful holiday
. We are having baked gopher meat
, roasted potatoes, rice, carrots,so sweet
and red velvet cake severed o- so neat
. The fact that I had to drive him home
verifies the fact that D.W. still suffers galore
from the hallucinations that have him thinking he's alone
and NASCAR history began in 1980 and not before
, and that his announcing duties on his fox throne
on tv qualify as "talent" as an auctioneer
. I further understand that Santa is still ticked
about last year when D.W. yelled at the raindeer
up his chimney. He yelled with your briskett
"boogity, boogity, boogity
" and the raindeer took off like a rocket
. Took the elves two hours
to get them under control with fodder from their pocket
. So, D. W. is getting nothing for his powers
for Christmas this year so I am told
that is the reason
im trying to be so kind to his sole
so before we close the door
Merry Christmas to all
and to all a wonderful New Year
See you in turn four

As I re-read this topic and your post Legend, I think that could become a new Christmas song. If you re-organized the words, I think it might be a "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" hahaha. Or in this case, it would be something like "How the Legend Saved the Goat" I'm sure you could figure something better sounding though. haha

It seems as this post has caused a stir along with the one I posted of Bobby Allison. It may be true that this Torino is not a G/N car but I only posted it for our pleasure and enjoyment.

The car Bobby was setting in was indeed correct,you see Bobby and I are friends from way back in the early 60's and I questioned the car and was proudly told I was correct in what i said.

Now guys---and gals this site " R/R " is inintended for the enjoyment of our past,some brush strokes or body panels may not be correct and rubber bands tend to break and have to be replaced with a substitute.

Our Memory Lane is not a spot to pick on so in the future please take these discussions (when they get testy) out behind the old outhouse and discuss them there. The aroma may just fit in with the discussion.. Merry Christmas to ALL

That car has few questionables about it the tank isnt period correct for the 60's and the wind up 351 is a get by motor I guess--A 427 period correct would really be a plus

Robbie Solesbee said:

Johnny, my only problem is a 351 masquarading as a 427. And I'm asking your opinion on one thing-Does that look like a 22 gallon fuel cell to you?
