Cool - when racing was a sport, not a business!

That looks like a  pretty nice track. Be fun to race there but Germany would be a fairly long haul from Arkansas. Great video, thanks sid charles.

 :) Thank you.  Very interesting. 

The black and gold  77 looks familiar.  Ronnie Johnson or somebody from Chattanooga ?  My memory fades.

I bet you're writing about Ronnie's dad, Joe Lee Johnson. He ran number 77 for as long as I can remember. Ronnie always ran number 5 when driving his own cars.

When racing was fun and you made your own everything was not bought over the counter

i can appreciate the sentiment. you'd have to be kooky to pull off a stunt like that.
