If NASCAR was like this today, I'd start watching it again.

These guys were so tough even the death of Bobby Myers wasn't mentioned. Very obvious why racing today is so tame compared to the early days, these guys were crazy. Gone forever. Godspeed.

The thing that strikes me when watching these old Southern 500's is just what a big event it was in the late 50's and early 60's. The week of practice before the event, beauty pagent, marching band and the huge infield crowds with scaffolding. It was a massive annual event with community support and a traditional date like Indianapolis or the Kentucy Derby.

I know we can't go back in time but it is nice to be able to tell a Chevy from a Ford from a Dodge/Chrysler. Heyday was late 70's & 80's & into early 90's could still identify manufacturers. Today I couldn't tell who is who as far as manufacturers.

Love how qualifying was 4 days long and inspections consisted of 2 guys with a tape measure. Awesome. Wish NASCAR was still like this. You know, when the cars were actually STOCK!! There's absolutely nothing stock about today's stock cars. What's with all the dirt and dust on the track? No blowers back then i guess.

I love that track. So quirky and difficult. I can only imagine how difficult it would be driving one of these 1950s beasts!

This was the race when 18-year-old Cale Yarborough snuck in and drove until getting pulled by NASCAR officials.
