Larry Dickson , one the best ever ! His brothers were good too ...

Jan Opperman was one of the best drivers I have ever seen. Thank you for posting this video.

I remember when I was about 11 years old my dad cotton and I stopped by Jim's house to say hi and he was finishing up on a indy car for the 500 not to often do you get to see that. But in my dad and Jim's world it was natural. 🤠

And people think drifting is new. I don't think so this is original drifting

[@chasehenley83]

Robby Golden this is infinitely better than drifting

[@joshbarth9469]

Drifting is not racing. Its not a race. Apples and oranges.

Terre Haute, Indiana, Vigo County Fairgrounds. WOW!!!! Tony Stewart would race two races in one day. Great memories. Great drag strip there too.
