The opening credits are over about 2 minutes of figure 8 races, and maybe circle dirt track races. How is that not cool?
reminds me why there aren't many 1950's cars around. a lot were demolished in races
You've never heard of Jesse Wayne, but he was a stunt man in every cool show there ever was in the 60's, 70's, and 80's... and was Mickey Rooney's and Mel Brooks stunt double too http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0915586/
YES! EXACTLY! One of the BIG REASONS WHY there aren't as many old Coupes and Sedans left from the late 20's to early 40's and also WHY there aren't many old 2dr. Sedans from the 50's to late 60's and early 70's left is BECAUSE SO MANY became "RACE CARS"! ESPECIALLY In local "Dirt Track Circits", the 2dr. Sedan was actually LIGHTER and Faster then the 2dr. Hard Top because they didn't have or need the Large 'X' frame support on the chassis frame because of the Sedan Door Post! This made them HIGHLY sought after by race car builders! This ALSO made those cars MUCH MORE Flexible when navigating turns on a Dirt/Clay Oval as were the local tracks at So Many Fair Grounds and Especially here in Wisconsin and the entire "Great Lakes" era!
ReplyDeleteThe Local Dirt Track Racing from the mid/late 50's to the mid-70's here in Wisconsin and upper Illinois is my All Time FAV Racing History!
Look for the group "VMSC" Vintage Modified Stock Car Club of Milwaukee to see what I mean?! :D
