  Watching my old friend and hero put the moves on ole Fulmer Lance, and hearing the fans yell. It still brings tears to my eyes every time I watch this. Bucky was the greatest ! Rest In Peace Old Friend

  I’m glad I grew up in the era where I got to watch all these legends race in person. RIP to all the guys no longer with us and to all the famous 1/2 mile tracks that have been butchered for this new era of racing.

  Im wondering why these guys took on various mile tracks like Springfield Illinois and todays version does not.

  strange how the wood carvings we made of race cars in early 70s became this right here lol. im glad they waited until the 70s Camaros, Mustangs, Firebirds lost their appeal that drew me to the dirt and pavement tracks in 70s became boxes before the switch.

  @BryanClark-gk6ie11 ай бұрын

  Aerodynamics plus the body sheet metal was easier to replace or straighten out ( flat panels ). Alot of beating and banging going on out there. Most of the drivers and crew worked full time jobs and had limited time to prepare their cars and travel to race on the weekends. Plus the cost was cheaper.

  @@SLMdirtfan Well, he's wrong if that's what he's saying. The wedge cars, like you see here were the fastest dirt late models ever. And Gaffney today is NOT the same track it was then. Back then it was a half mile around the bottom, which of course means it was really > 1/2 mile around the racing line. Today's Gaffney is much shorter, maybe 3/8 at best. So, the lap times may be "lower" but they are not faster and in reality aren't even as fast.
