Curious if anyone other than @dave-fulton or myself visits this site anymore. Is it worth our bumping previous posts or contributing new ones? Re-tagging and liking many photos? A ton of new "members" have joined in recent weeks. Have seen no contributions from them. Are they real or bots? A real shame to watch what was become what is.
Update: Above photo is Flying 01 Bobby Allison(left) driving Jack Tant's new style Flying 11modified; #21 Sonny Hutchins(middle) driving for Wood Bros.modified; Flying 11 Ray Hendrick(right) driving Jack Tant's old style Flying 11modified. Martinsville Speedway, month/day/1967 100 laps Modified race winner Bobby Allison.
Martinsville Speedway race, car owner Jack Tant enter two Flying 11(old style modified/sportsman) with Ray Hendrick and (new style modified/sportsman) with Bobby Allison.
Ray Hendrick used the Flying 11#.
Bobby Allison's pitcrewman used the white chalk/white shoe polish paint #0 over the Flying 11# to make it Flying 01#. It wasn't an good paint job with the faded painted #0 paint job. There are photos that shows /look like two Flying 11 race cars are racing each other?
Bobby Allison in faded paint job #0/Flying 01(new style modified/sportsman) won the 1967 100 laps Modified race at Martinsville Speedway.

Jeff or Chase,
I found out that you can't post an original large photo to the image galleries Post Your Comment.
I messed the this post up, because large original comment photo + "You May Also Like" section don't work?
Example:

[/quote]The old website :
#1. More race fan friendly using the old website!
#2. Had less bells and whistles to kept track of, less confusing on how to posting racing photos and information!
I still don't know what these small symbols in the above grey box are used for?
#3. You used the old website's search box, you will get what you're looking for!
The new website's search box will get you everything but what you're looking for!
#4. I could used my old XP computer on the old website?
I'm using android tablets on the new website, because my old XP computer don't have enough memory for the new website?

Race preview from June 25, 1948 edition of The Daily Tar Heel:
Stock Car Racing Opens Sunday at Hillsboro Track
Ranking stock car drivers of the country will be competing for a $4,000 purse at the new Occoneechee Speedway, located two miles east of Hillsboro on the old Durham highway, Sunday afternoon when this famous one-mile dirt track is officially opened.
Time trials will start Saturday afternoon, being slated for 1 o'clock. All cars not qualified Saturday afternoon will start at 1 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The 15-lap consolation race will start at 2:45 o'clock Sunday with the 100-lap feature starting at 3:30 o'clock.
Promoter Bill France, the genial pioneer of the stock car racing business, is anticipating a record field of entries for the national championship event, sanctioned by the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing. Thirty drivers will be allowed to compete for the main purse in the 100-mile feature event, these being selected on the basis of their qualifying times Saturday and Sunday.
The new banked track is one of the most beautiful racing plants in America, being constructed on the famous horse racing track that attracted race fans from all sections of the south to the famous Occoneechee farm for many years.
With 100 acres of land available for parking space, plenty of parking areas are provided to accommodate the huge crowd expected to attend this national championship event in the 100-mile class.
All three of the Flock brothers, rated as Atlanta's gift to racedom, will compete in this big race. Fonty Flock, the 1947 national champion, regained his position as the No. 1 man for the national championship race this season by winning the feature at Birmingham last Sunday, while brothers Bob and Tim made it a clean sweep for the Flock family by winning feature races at Columbus, Ga., and Greensboro in other important events last Sunday.
