I was there that day with my dad in between 3 & 4 turn. Started raining, came a flood. My dad had a '61 pontiac and we got stuck. Dad waved a five dollar bill around and some guys came and pushed us out and we finally got out and on our way home. What memories. race got rained out at 330 miles.
I absolutely love your channel. Keep up the great work. One of the best channels on RU-vid. You should try to put together a collection of Indycar races.
Man those car's looked rough in 62! Hard to imagine they went from this in 62, to the winged car's of 69! 🤯 Thing's in racing were changing so fast in the 60's, no wonder the tire companies couldn't keep up 🤷🏻♂️
Bias Ply Tires,Drum Brakes,No Fire Suits,No Fuel cells No window Nets,Opening Doors Glass all the way around minimal safety gear Yikes! These were real Racers.
One pit stop 53 seconds the next 64 seconds and the driver puts a cigarette in his mouth. Tell me that's ever happened before in nascar on video just 2 tires and full tank of gas
You'll notice your snide remark has a total like's of ZERO. This film look's exactly as it would have when shown in movie theater's between movie's in 62 🤷🏻♂️
Pontiacs ruled nascar in the late fifty,s and early sixty,s then Chrysler stepped up it's game around sixty three or four with the 426 wedge and kicked ass and Ford was there the whole time love nascar then and up to the mid ninety and totally lost interest when Earnhardt died. But on a lighter note I'm still a drag racing fan
