Dick, I took the title of this thread from the cover page of the program for this race. Like you, I associate the term "big cars" to 50's and earlier. I guess like the Milwaukee program cover designer, I don't adapt well to change. I still refer to Silver Crown machines (or whatever they're known as now) as champ dirt cars.
