A montage to the tune of Moby. I heard this song on another video and it fit too well. Edit: All footage credited to the great Dick Wallen, of course. I'm merely an admirer of these brave men of earlier times. This tribute is dedicated to their memory.

  • I want this video on my Aquos SH8298U unit.

  • This is a "new" video. =p

  • Not only the best drivers but they had the most class. I hope time will not forget them.

  • 0:48 So sad. R.I.P. Bob Sweikert.

    Thank you for making such an appropriate video that truly shows the passion that each racer that has passed had for the sport he loved. R.I.P.

  • This video is a work of art. Thank you for posting.

  • My 84 year old father passed this year. He saw all these greats race on dirt and would go on and on about how smooth Don Branson drove. He loved Foyt, Hurtubise, Branson and all of these legends. These men faced death every time they raced....balls big as melons ! I have many of these driver's autographs....collected with my dad as a kid.

  • Love this video. It was way before my time, but I've been around the sport long enough, appreciate its history enough to read about it to recognize 90% the names everyone has posted and a good many of the faces in the videos.

    It's awesome to sit here and watch it (multiple times) and see it all in living color.

    Thanks to Dick Wallen, Johnny3wheel and everyone who has contributed comments.

  • I'm a gigantic PJ fan, and I feel like this video does his memory proud. Good work mate, damn good work.

  • How did we get old? The memoried flood back, Frank Hauzar,Ron & Dana Ray, Hoggle, Allen heath. It brings tears to my eyes. I miss it so much. Only thing I get to race now is toys, Models. They look real and make me happy.

  • 2:39 Dick Rathmann's wife; 2:44 Cotton Farmer; 3:23 Jud Larsen (KIA 1966); 3:29 Rodger Ward and Bobby Marshman (KIA Phoenix); 3:45 Shorty Templeman; 3:48 Rodger Ward; 3:52 Parnelli; 3:54 Jim Hurtubise.

    PS--I'm getting a flat-top like Tony B's tomorrow. ;)
