We had to learn how to use one of those in high school for a physics class. By the time I started college, pocket calculators had replaced them. I wonder how many people under 60 know what one is; I'm sure they've never seen one.

Gary Balough? Was this after his prison sentence or before?

 

[aunty dive]

Whoever put the cow-catcher on that thing should have been put in jail.

I think the photo was from 1983 or 1984 and the prison time was at a later time in the 80's.

 

[StandOnIt]

Fans would be shatting themselves if this happened frequently today.

Screw the car, you wanted the tires that were on the hauler trailer.

#29 Buddy Howard won four track championships at GPS 1977-1980. The narrow front street tires were used for transport on the open trailor.

#17 Jerry Hughes Camaro. He probably would have won the GPS 1976 championship but he got took out during a caution during the last points paying race of the season.

#21 No comments are needed.

21 looks like a dirt car with those tires ..nice either way. It has a well prepared look all over it.

I agree it looks like it is set up for dirt, but I think he won in the same car on the asphalt at Hickory.

I saw David Pearson race several times but never on dirt. They say he was great on dirt too, I dont think he had a weakness.

I think this is the same car with an asphalt set-up winning at Hickory.

Judging by this thread fans like the throwback, has anyone else seen where Chase Elliott has said that the throwback thing is overdone?

 

[aunty dive]

Just the 3,000 + people who have looked in the Darlington Throwbacks thread.

[StandOnIt]

There is always one that starts it off every year with the a "Please don't make me look at throwback cars this year". lol.

 

[Greg]

Rusty Wallace and Mark Martin many, many, Big Hair Thursday ago.....

 

[StandOnIt]

Rusty went full Bozo with that one.

 

[StandOnIt]

This throwback is for the fall Darlington. Buddy Baker's Grey Ghost rides again.

 

[Greg]

A good trivia question might be: who is the driver of the black #13

 

[StandOnIt]

Swede Savage
