I am 70 years old and I was there to see Richard drive this unique machine. These were the days when every machine didn't have to equal the other! This was a time when driver skill meant as much as the machine. Gosh I miss those days!

[@rascaliwmc]

Yes, I agree w/ you 100%! I'm 63.7 now & last I was really into NASCAR, was around '95 w/Jeff Gordon racing. I know, even his car was 'fake', but even then, all cars limited w/restriction plates, were not real 'bought off the showroom cars' & converted for racing. Now, one piece shells where every sponsor takes up every square inch of paint. I'll catch some of those old races from 70-74 & really see the difference in racing. SUPER skills back then, whereas today, it's like watching a video game. Why I lost interest.

[@BloodRaven1969]

Okay, I'm a youngster of 'only' 54 but I agree too, by the end of the 70's NASCAR was wondering to far away from the cars on the roads and by the late 80's I wasn't watching much any more. At least YT has plenty of real NASCAR, NHRA/IHRA/AHRA, SCCA, and even Can-Am and Group B Rally races to see when real men with real skills raced real cars.

But talk about American power, Elon has created the most powerful rocket the world has ever seen, and created it in America, 100% American-made, by Americans. What’s wrong with that? And it works at least as well as that Superbird, but with an even wilder sound of raw power! He’s an American (a citizen), even though not born here.

[@mutleymutley7474]

Boys and girls, this is what raw power sounds like. No chips, no fuel injectors, no restrictor plates, no special gadgets, etc. Just a big ole engine block with a carburetor for maximum raw power. The rest, is up to the driver.

[@rascaliwmc]

One of a few reasons I don't watch NASCAR any more. One piece plastic bodies, same mechanicals, so generic. That along w/ the 'small things', like not seeing the AMERICAN flag a.k.a., 'Stars & Bars' , flying around here & there. Racing then, was RIVALRY, not ruled by over regulation, rules & political correctness. Now, maybe on occasion, I'll catch the 1st 15 min of the Daytona 500, or Talladega 500. Then lose interest fast.

[@mutleymutley7474]

@@rascaliwmc I agree with your sentiments. My brother and I were season ticket holders to Daytona, Dover and Pocono. We had our tickets for over 35 years. The old tickets were good enough to visit the pit stop area without special passes. Over the years, we met the old great drivers. Then NASCAR took away pit stop visits unless you had a special pass for an extra dollar. Then NASCAR made more changes we did not like; aka, restrictor plates, cookie cutter cars, banning flags, adding social justice, DEI and other liberal crap. We cancelled our tickets. It was no longer fun to go to the races. He still watches the races on TV from time to time, but I don't. And to add insult to injury, NASCAR is experimenting with electric cars now or as I prefer to call them, robots. If that comes through, the track is going to sound like a baby's room. Good luck that!

[@TheeGlocktopus]

Couple of my favorite hidden things in this video. 1) Kyle Petty didn't use the belts. 2) After shutting down the engine and parking it, he reached through the wheel to decouple it, but this thing doesn't have a detachable one.

I caught the steering wheel too, but it’s muscle memory… and I thought that was great.

I grew up just down Randleman Road from the Pettys. The one thing I miss is hearing them testing engines on the dyno for upcoming races. They’d load test them with hard pulls and you could hear it for miles away! The Petty family certainly completed the community and made it that much more special to live in..

Look at the smile on Kyle's face!! This is the car that made me a Nascar fan when I was 8 years old! I'm from the NYC area and on Saturdays I would watch the CBS Sports Spectacular and when they showed parts of a nascar race, I saw the Superbird, the 43 and Richard and I was hooked! A Richard Petty fan till he retired and still enjoy watching him anytime he's on TV. I have always felt the Superbird was the meanest looking race car ever made. Any chance to see this car moving is exciting! The last several years Kyle has taken a big turn in life spending more time on TV appreciating his Father and it has made for excellent TV. I wish Kyle would race the car somewhere in America rather than England.. Back in the 90s, Saturday nights I used to go to a car show/hangout at Marcus Dairy in Danbury Connecticut and there were 2-3 beautiful Superbirds and 1-2 Dodge Daytona's. I loved seeing those cars the most. The most Iconic American Race Car!

People talking about the sound of the engine but what got me was the sound of the starter! Didn't matter if attached to a slant 6, 318, 340, 383, 426 or 440 they all had the same starter sound! From the perspective of being 6 in 1970 nothing came close to being a living Hot Wheels car to me then Mopars but especially the Daytonas and Superbirds. The colors and graphics set them apart. Always enjoy watching the old races and your dad's racing style. Enjoy your trip to Goodwood!
