I agree totally. There is no way a race cars could look more vicious and so totally awesome. These times are forever gone. You know its pure raw power when you push that Mercury 200mph+ at Daytona straightaway.

I remember watching a NASCAR race live on TV from around this time in which a member of a pit crew was killed by an explosion while they were playing a high pressure water hose on the tires. Does anyone else remember that?

[BSNFabricating]

Not only that, but also no pit road speed limit...

[NDKILLER1]

[sandhilldiva]

it is amazing to see how the pit crew is dressed no protective gear at all
