Thanks!

Thanks very, very much. Donations like this make it possible for us to save more rare and endangered films!

[@edwardburek1717]

What a fantastic time capsule, when Nascar racers actually looked like the cars that were on the road back in the day, and the pit lane technicians seemingly partaking a few of the sponsor's products while tuning the cars up.

[@LongIslandMopars]

Yep. Days of freedom to be free.

[@zephead843]

And it's gone forever. Look for red meat, tailgating, barbeques, and pickup trucks to go away soon, along with NASCAR. Thanks Democrats! Ultimately, we must blame ourselves, the people who allowed things to get where they are today.

[@CudaRebelsAutoModeling426]

This was simply the BEST era of stock car racing!! Thank you, for preserving this INCREDIBLE film! Donnie Allison's premier win with the Wood brothers, and 6th Career win! 💯🏁

Cool video, when I was a kid my mother stopped by Bobby Allisons house, knocked on the door, and his wife answered. She showed us his trophy room, and we got some cool little autographed cards of Bobby standing near his car. My mother was a native of Hueytown, and that is where Bobby lived. She didn't know them, and I was suprised that Bobby's wife welcomed us in. Nice people for sure.

[@garysarratt1]

Pat Gray from (I think) channel 6 did a segment touring Allison’s place with his wife. That was cool.

[@brettcooley6284]

My Dad was a local firefighter during this time, and the track would hire locals to work in the events. He worked the first in 1969 and several years afterward mainly in the pits. My first event was 1973 Winston 500 with the 19 car pile up on the backstretch in front of the stands where we sat. Saw the accident that took the life of Tiny Lind first hand. Went to Talladega events for nearly 40 years even camping out many times. Culminating with driving on the track in 2004, a birthday gift from my Dad with the Petty Driving Experience. So Talladega has a place in my heart over the years.

[@user-qt7nq5xl1m]

I really enjoyed that snippet in Winston cup history.

[@johncashwell1024]

Poor Dave Marcus! He was an independent driver in the 90s with Big Apple Market. Being a NC native and raised their in the 70s&80s, there weren't too many degrees of separation between you and someone involved in NASCAR. A friend of mine, who graduated from NC State in 1990, was friends with Dave Marcus or his son (I can't remember) and he would go help the team out in the pits on weekends when the race was in Va., N.C. or S.C.. Later in the 90s, I would go out their Dynamic Wreckers (a sponsor) and drive one of the tow trucks around the course at the start of the race at Charlotte. That was an experience, my foot was all the way to the floor and the pace car and the pack had just about gone all the way around and were coming up behind us, just in time for us to duck into the pits. We got 1 lap & they got 2 then the race started. After Dale Earnhardt died, I lost all interest in the sport.

[@11NetNet11]

I absolute love this, and that are such an increneble video to watch for my weekend Thanks PeriscopeFilm, can't wait for more vintage racing events!

[@MrChristopherHaas]

this is the first ever Winston 500…in 1971. I will pay you ANY PRICE for youre time machine, sir.

[@MrChristopherHaas]

Was Mr. Issac sick? Or was it that he just didnt like the track

[@davidhudson5452]

This is what made Nascar

[@1northsparrow246]

I am surprised Mr Smith was not smoking a Winston.

[@thomasgoodwin2648]

I remember back in the early days of online racing (Nascar 2 n 3), there was a particular group of racers known as 'Degaheads'. I wasn't rabid, I drove all tracks, but Dega was always the prime arena to battle. ✌😎👍

[@LongIslandMopars]

Interesting. No winged cars with the small 305 cube engines after they got banned following the 1970 season.

[@eddieafterburner]

I sat next to Kurt Busch at the coffee shop once and didn’t even know who the guy was! 😂

1971.that is the year where winged mopars were buried.how sad it is.

[@MrChristopherHaas]

oh lord please tell me that the next old nascar video i see ends with James Hylton beating Ramo Stott at Talledega. or a Lennie Pond or Earl Ross win.

[@mousenmcclintock]

Red was a real popular color back then.

[@eddieafterburner]

Orange and brown became more popular in the 70s. Especially for shag carpet.

I think the guy who lived across the court from me in the 70s smoked Winston 500s.

[@stunninglynormal1261]

Real cars and real racers.

[@kcdonegan]

I smoked Winston cigs for bout a week. Then decided to just like em for the racin!

[@lestersabados1306]

The narrator sounds like Garry Moore. He loved Winston cigarettes

[@grumpyg9350]

Back then, Winston would stack packs of free cigarettes on small tables in the garage area, and women weren’t allowed to be in pits or garage area. Our ford had a secret weapon, an ash tray and cigarette lighter, so the driver could smoke during the cautions.

[@goukisama]

And black people I'm sure.

[@GooglePixelGoogle]

@@goukisama You can't even enjoy reading the comment section on a 1971 Winston Cup race without the perpetually offended chiming in. I get it, there is money and special treatment in being the perpetually offended. What a sad way to navigate through life.
