Footage from the Open Competition race held at the Nashville Fairgrounds on October 16, 1966. Jimmy Griggs won the race in the #11 super modified by ELEVEN laps over Dick Gaines in the #70 sprint car.
Calhoun98, unreal footage. These are guys I've remembered for years. #41 McGuire,#11 Griggs, #77 Wise, #1 Hood, #777 Robbins. This was the same race Gene Glover was injuried when he spun to a stop and was hit by Ben Pruitt .I was a 11 year old in the stands that day. I think Griggs won, did you ever see the final finishing order?
@pushrod1955 good to see this ben pruitt use to be my boss .
