Great stuff Bobby..........................


............back when they awarded 50 points for Top Speed of the Event!:D
 
That was one of the hottest events on record, the humidity was just brutal that year. They just did get the finals in, because shortly after the last pair there was a monsoon-like rain.
 
Wow!!! the announcing was a lot better back in the day! Got nothing against Mike Dunn but I cant stand having to listen to Paul Page stumble over every word that come across the teleprompter the whole freakin race. Its not only the stuttering but the guy announces stuff wrong all the time. Ok vent over.


Really cool video!
 
i commented on this a few weeks ago. i don't know who put that on youtube,
but it is great to watch..........sans guardrails.
 
Wow, funny cars running mid fives at 250 and they were still exciting! :)

Someone just HAD to get a page bash in. :rolleyes:

I actually saw those vids a while back, pretty good stuff.
 
The good 'ole days! Great stuff Bobby! Certainly brings a smile to my face to see the movers and shakers in the sport, the drivers, announcers, the atmosphere! What a great time it was back then! :D

A great reminder of how things were and where the sport has gone since.;)

Thanks for bringing back a wonderful slice of history for those of us here to enjoy!

Joe, do you remember what year this happened? I remember seeing it back in the days of TNN and American Sports Cavalcade. What amazed me was the end of the track appeared to just have a guardrail. No net, no sand, nothing but the guardrail. That's some real "plan for the worst" thinking right there. NOT!
