There`s a primer on it around here somewhere but I can`t seem to find it :confused: Maybe Magnethead can help when he comes around.

I do it on other sites with no problem I read the primer on here and it similar to everywhere else .....It just won't work for me :(

I wind up with a link like TG did.
 
Cool vid, thanks. I love the guy beating parts off with a sledge hammer. :owquitit: :D And the one guy ran quite a while with his hood up. DOH! I saw on a few cars round ducts coming out of the rear trunk, maybe 5-6" in diameter. Were those exhaust pipes? Or...???

That turn 3 from the pavement to the sand was gnarly. Not a good spot for that spotter/flagman stand.

From wiki: Marshall Teague made it two in a row in his 1952 Hudson. Teague gained the lead on lap two. The race was shortened by two laps because of an incoming tide. Teague won by 1 minute and 21 seconds over Herb Thomas. A day earlier, Tim Flock wins the Modified/Sportmen race.

Great video apparently the only tools in the pits where various sizes of Hammers! Crewcheif to mechanic bring me a fender hammer.....nonono thats a hood hammer get the Big One LOL.
I dont know what those big pipes are? could they possibly be for mounting taillights in when their flat towing the car to the track?
BTW, If your ever in Daytona Beach make sure you go down to the North Turn Bar and Grille http://www.racingsnorthturn.com/ lottsa cool stuff in there good food and Cold Beer!!! I eat there pretty regular.
