I don't know how long that track is, but I saw Hank Rogers, Sr. pass the entire United Racing Club in the first two turns of the feature at Essex Junction VT, Labor Day weekend 1961. That's last to first in 1/4 mile.

Back in the mid eighties (I'm thinking 1984) Bobby Davis Jr. was driving the Bob Weickert sprinter in Central Pa. One night at Selinsgrove, a big, fast half mile, he started 18th in the feature. Putting it on the cushion he drove from 18th to the lead by the time he exited turn two on the FIRST LAP! What a run!

That really didn't look to difficult. I drive the same way through town everyday, but i do drive past the police station first to see if they are in or out patroling so you know what your limitations are. :wink1:

I saw Tommy Hennershitz do that on a regular basis - except he did it on a dirt oval. He would go to the top, up in the marbles, and blow by the whole field. It was awsome for a young boy like me to see. My dad has an old 8mm film somewhere of him doing just that at New Bremen in the Miracle Power Special.

I remember George Snider doing that in the semi at a summertime Terre Haute show back in the mid-70s. Did it 3 times (the 1st 2 were waved-off by another car spinning out). He was driving the red #98 AJ Watson Offy-powered car...
