It would be very interesting to see the chassis of the 66 Charger. That is some old school raw torque and horse power there. So many LEGEND cars side by side.

The Charger is a replica...misrepresented. But a replica none the less.

I ,love all the stuff you guys do. I lived in Charlotte back in 1975 and worked on a project close to DARLINGTON. I toured the old museum and remember all the cheaters parts they had on display. A lot has changed since then and I need to tour that place again. Thanks again for all the work you put in to these history videos that nobody else has done.

I was wondering who did those great portraits, and lo and behold, it was Jeanne Barnes. what a great job she did on those. Excellent presentation of this museum.

@Stapleton42 4 дня назад

@georgetincher7859 4 дня назад

That Cale Yarborough Oldsmobile was a great looking race car! That was my favorite of his Hardee's schemes. This car and Bobby Allison's gold Miller sponsored Buick were two of the best paint schemes from 1988, at least IMO.

@larryjohnson7591 2 дня назад

Awesome museum! Great job showing us around. I've been there maybe 15 years ago, and a lot has changed. Think my faves this time are the 57 Chevy and Million Dollar Bill's #9. When they were racing for that at Darlington they posted bodyguards in the pits.

I am glad you asked about the artist. Very talented. Very good High school friend actually drove a Hudson Jet. The Hudson Jet looked very compact compared to Hornet.We car pooled in that car starting college in 1969. Many fond memories in the Hudson Jet. Great video , Thanks Mitchell and Logan.

Awesome Video!! Again Russell knocked it out of the park. His passion is second to none. I especially enjoyed Russell mentioning how Benny Parson's uniform had been eaten up by rats and the front was still salvageable. Also enjoyed your request for "Accountability" by having names associated with the confiscated illegal parts. Keep up the good work!!

@artmccartan4911 4 дня назад

The red and white Oldsmobile seemed to be wa way ahead of its time. The dash was purpose built, windshield tie-downs, the side window frames rolled, body seams filled & the rt. side was one big slab. The builder had to have been around airplanes or applied airplane construction techniques. The creativity of the early builders was amazing. Nothing was cookiecutter about the builds until the late 90's / 2000's. One cool hotrod . One very cool video thats not cookiecutter either!

I wish you could do something about Chicagoland Speedway, my home track. I’ve gone to quite few races, ARCA, Busch, Craftsman (never Cup, unfortunately). Hate that it’s storage and sold to warehouses now, especially since it sounds like a decent amount of drivers appreciated it. Johnny Sauter burning it down after his 2002 Busch win, at 5 years old, is forever burned into my memory

Darlington is my home racetrack not far from where I grew up in Charleston. Been a NASCAR fan since early 80's but it wasn't until the 1989 Darlington Southern 500 that I sat down and actually watched an entire race from flag to flag, Dale Sr won that day after a pretty dominant run then he won the next 2 races at Darlington after that. I was watching that day back in 1992 hoping Davey would win the million BUT the rains came & ruined his day. Always enjoy going there to see NASCAR racing when-ever I am back home & have been in that museum every time...

You need to find Rabbit and Yank Tank, they built cars for the Elliots. Ernie didnt duild the engines. James Lyle built the engines and he was a really good fitter and he built really nice engines for many of the short track guys in Georgia at the time.
