August 21, 1966 - Richmond Drivers Sweep Top-3 Spots in Trenton Modified Civil War as Ray Hendrick Tops Daytona 500 Champs Yarbrough, Lund, Hamilton in 60 Car Field

Great story and pics. Sure would like to see the full field rundown for that classic. Didn't know Friday Hassler ever ran the Trenton modified race, but I believe he won the pole for a later Trenton GN race.
ANYONE HEARD OF THIS DRIVER

Who cares about Elvis when there's a great looking Toy Bolton Chevy in the pics?

Great pics and videos, thanks a lot. Nice reference by Tom Powell to "Dick" Petty, and "Sonny" Baker, half of 2 father-son combos.

At last check, the Winston-Salem Journal had 228 comments on their story about the proposed Dixie Classic Fair name change, with almost all of them being against it. The picture of the DC Fairgrounds and race track is great. I sat in the bushes coming off of turn 4 and peered through the fence to see the Jack Kochman "Hell Drivers" there one night, in their new Plymouths. Another year, I saw a motorcycle stunt man named Bob Duffey put on a tremendous show only to have it end with one of his few career crashes, after he had jumped a whole bunch of cars right in front of the grandstand.

Much thanks to TMC C (and others) for many great pictures on lots of different subjects, that I have never seen before.

Jeff Hawkins was from Greenville, and I believe he was primarily a LMS driver in that area. Think he drove, at least some of the time, for Greenville car owner Lester Hunter.
