What most fans of today don't realize is how much FUN was had in that period (60-70's) When the checkered flag dropped, racers (drivers, owners & fans) hung out & partied together. I'll never forget Sonny Beck (Dayton, Ohio-Beck Construction Car) telling the stories of how Jud Larson, Don Branson, Bud Tinglestad, etc. would come by their garage a day or two before the races (Eldora, New Bremen, Dayton, Winchester) to hang out, drink some beer. tell some tales, and have good times. When's the last time any race fans of current days experienced that?
The days of Sunday Afternoon Shows, Fried Chicken, Cold Beer, and Great ********'n sessions are over!!! I only regret that the younger race fans never had the same chance to live it!!!!
I still attend races...BUT they are not the same!!!!!!
