Now skip to the next post if you're a stock car hater. But, I have to tell you there was some great racing back in the 60's & 70's, ("Popcorn, get those classic cars out here"). Previously mentioned John Mugavin, Earl Smith, Bruce Gould, and Ross Smith along with Chuck McWilliams, Rodney Combs, Billy Teegarden, Baldy McLaren, Don Lamb, Denny Harris (Jeff's dad), Larry Moore, Whitey Freeman and others were exciting to watch.....Fishburger
There were some great stock car races at the Burg back in the 60's. Ross Smith was tough to beat in Tom Soudrette's slant six Plymouth #44. There were a few nights when Ross would win both the sprint and stock features. Anybody remember the good old days of two classes? Speaking of Denny Harris. I watched him barrel roll down the front straight while he was hanging out of the drivers side window of the car. The car was actually rolling over on him. If ever I watched a man die before my eyes, that was it. But, he survived!!! He can still be found on Saturday nights down between turns 1 & 2 drinking beer and raising hell!:rolling
