Racing History Minute - April 27, 1958
Stock Car Racing History
Interesting in the Hillsboro newspaper ad to see the race that never ran billed as "Battle of the Chevrolets and Fords." Also interesting in the ad to see children under 12 encouraged to bring "escorts!" For years we used to pass by a "gentlemen's" establishment near the he fringe of Durham not far fro Hillsboro on highway 70 named "Tomcats." That was probably the nearest place for the children under 12 to get their escort!
At Richmond, we always advertised free admission for children under 12 accompanied by a paid adult. No escorts needed!
