Anyone remember the good old days? When a thread that went forever revolved around strippers for trophy girls.
 
Yea,and flannel shirts and jeans were your driver's suit,work boots were racing shoes.Also,shorts and open-toe shoes were forbidden in the pit area.Newspapers and Speed Sport News were the only sources for race results and you had to wait a week get it.Oh my,how did we ever survive.Btw, you could race hard with a guy and go to the saloon after the races and have fun rehashing the evening w/o all the drama we have now!!!!!!!!! Open trailers and pickups with 3 or 4 tires and 1 non-roll around tool box and a big cooler of Schaefer's Light beer. Those were the days!!!!! Junkyards had plenty of spare parts and they were cheap,too.Butyl tires were the hot ticket on slick tracks and fun was the name of the game. Nostalgia, you gotta love it.;);)
 
chim chim can not answer at this time he is at PT's waiting for them to open the doors again. I think his excuse this time is he forgot his sunglasses in there.
