Hey! Hey! I finally found it! @ 00:26 seconds, You will see 2 cadillac convertibles I was in the back seat of the 1st Caddy. I was in the middle, between Country Western Stars...Del Reeves (Girl on the Billboard). Susan Rey (L.A. International Airport & Pitty-Pitty Patter of Lil Bitty Feet)! I dated Del for awhile after we met that day. Sure wish I could get a closer shot of us. I had photos, but have lost them all, along the way. The 2nd Caddy is Gene Tracey Truck Stop Tapes-Comedy). Thank YOU!

Love this old footage when you could actually tell the cars apart, Mercury Cyclones, AMC Rebels, Olds, Pontiac, Dodge.....when they were really stock cars. Thanks for posting. LMAO at Buddy Baker pulling into the pits smoking a cigar! That's classic!

That's a microphone in front of Buddy Baker's mouth, not a cigar.

I was listening to Chocolate Myers on a show he talked about racing then and now. Some times engines would have a forty Up advantage.. That's why you had third place a lap down.

Now those seem more like stock cars. Today’s nascar is anything but stock it seems. I know safety and technology but eh, todays stock cars are not stock in the least. Oh ya, “ concrete wall”. Holy smash Batman lol

If I'm not mistaken, didn't that crash pretty much end Gregg's career? I think he came back to racing IMSA and Trans-Am after that, but he wasn't quite the same driver. If I'm wrong, please feel free to correct me.
@cjs831727 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure about that, but Gregg's crash simply continued the theme of horrendous crashes that plagued that month. It started at Talladega with the huge crash at the Winston 500, included the crashes of both Peter Gregg and Vic Parsons in this race, and of course, was culminated with what was to happen over the next three days at Indy with the crashes of Salt Walther and Swede Savage, as well as the fatal crash on pit road there that killed crewman Armando Teran. And of course, rain also plagued both that race at Indy and this race at Charlotte, which was delayed about 90 minutes for rain, but did run the full distance.

Is that a cigar in Buddy Baker's mouth coming into the pits after he spun out his 71 car?
@topmech715 жыл бұрын
More than likely...David Pearson did that as well with cigarettes. Buddy tells a story one time of Pearson running him down and going by him while lighting a cigarette...Buddy said it was bad enough that he passed me but the SOB had to light a cigarette too.

joe quillun Pontiac ruled for a couple years in the early sixties until Fords 427 came along and put an end to Pontiacs rule. the hemis didn't rule anything, they were good and fast but Ford won just as many races as chysler did through the sixties. I would hardly call that ruling anything.

the Ford and Chevy guys complained so much about the Hemis, in the late 60s, and early 70s, that Hemi cars were mandated to run restrictor plates. But even then they were successful. Mainly cause of the king.
