 I was offered another Petty car while I was there, a wrecked Grand Prix that has been long garaged off the premises.  Sorry for the distraction.

The LeMans or the Firebird?
Looks like a Cosworth Vega on top. Probably a load of used cars being moved. |

I don't know how "vintage" that transporter picture is. Those trailers look pretty modern to me.

I think there was a nic-name among racers for the board tracks ... had something to do with the big splinters. The tracks were built with the boards on edge so the narrow grain was showing, and the boards ran longways in the direction of travel .... and splinters peeled up every time it rained and then dried again.
Probably a huge motivator not to crash. |

 Pretty scary stuff. This was 1910 at a board track. Notice no helmets, not even the leather type that would adorn aviators around this time. Somewhere there was a photo showing a kid sticking his head up through the track as the racers were coming by. I recall reading that when the tracks began to go into disrepair, and the boards were popping up or missing, kids would climb the bleachers from underneath, stick their heads up through a gap or hole like a groundhog popping his head up, and watch the racers go by. Obviously, safety was not of prime importance back in the 1920's! Mike

So care-free.....
Yeah, not much concern for safety back then.
No helmets, not even for the Gilmore lion......

As for safety - that's what the long-sleeved shirts are for! Look up "1950 Daytona 500" and see not much changed in the next 30-40 years safety-wise.

Chevrolets on the hauler. Looks like a green Vega GT on the bottom.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
