Banjo was my neighbor in the 70s. I grew up with his son. Back in the 80s i used to go to his shop on mondays and see all the wrecked cars from the sunday race. The teams would send them from the track on an open trailer.

My family and I visited the Charlotte Speedway and some area race shops for the first time between the 87-88 season. While driving around the track we could hear a race car on track. We drove around and the tunnel entrance was open so we drove in and pulled over to the pit area. It was this Gold #12 Miller High Life car but we had no idea that it was a Bobby Allison car because previously he had been #22. We attempted to take some pictures before someone came over and asked us not to. Turns out that this was the photo shoot for the new scheme. We did manage to get a couple of photos from a distance. Once the car pulled in, they proceeded to peel the 12 decals off and apply the 8 decals and sent it back out for more photos. I learned later that this was one of the first Sam Bass designed paint schemes. Once I learned who he was, I became a huge Sam Bass fan and found out a few years later, while meeting with him and sharing this story, that he also remembered that day and he was the one that had come over and asked us not to take pictures. It blew my mind when he said,- "I remember you all, the blue station wagon, right?" I've still got the pictures as well as some from the Days of Thunder junkyard that sat behind the Hendrick shop for a while. The #11 Bud car in the junkyard was a Chevy Monte Carlo which was humorous since it had Ford Blue Oval stickers on it. Thanks for sharing your passion for NASCAR history and taking us along on your journeys.

I drove an early 2000s cup car at a NASCAR driving experience. My company paid for us to go. So, real cup car governed to not exceed a certain RPM on a real NASCAR track. It was the most counterintuitive driving I have ever experienced. I did manage to achieve 154mph once I got comfortable getting close to the wall. I swear it felt like I was doing 60mph.

Hey Guys, I love the fact guys are out there finding these old racecars still. Growing up as a kid in the 70s and 80s I was crazy for Nascar, but living in Australia pre internet. It was pretty hard to watch it or find anything. Then At the end of the 80s a guy called Bob Jane did a deal with Bill France to run a cup Car series in Australia along with a lower series called Austcar (which weirdly ran in the opposite direction on the oval in Melbourne). There were loads of Cup Cars bought over here at the time and the local guys would race against the stars that would fly in from the US. It was a great time for me. I wonder where all those cars are now? When the series shut down over here. We had to wait until Marcos Ambrose headed to the US before we got Nascar on Australian TV again. Love what you guys are doing with the channel. Id like to dig into where some of those ex Cup Cars with history that came to Australia are now. Regards Ted.
