I was only 7yrs old at the time and did not get introduced to dirt track until about 85 just as the new body styles were coming in but every once and a while u would c some of these cars.
I wish would bring back a old school late model class like these cars kinda like the legend cars I love the dirt late models of today just as much as anyone but these beast fight here are sum of the wicked looking dirt track I've ever remember seeing as matter their some of the cars I'm remember watching race at our local dirt track when I was a 5or 6 yr old kid I remember asking my pops bout them big wings on back lol they should be the starter cars for guys learning how drive the new ones b/c if you can sling these beast round you can' drive anything on dirt
Used to watch Potts, Bill Davis, Paul Shafer, Larry Owens, Bob Line, My father Glen Jones every weekend at Crown Point or Rennselaer dirt tracks in Norther Indiana in the 70's and 80's.
I can't believe how tall the spoiler or wings was on the back and they were all transams and comaros correct me if I'm wrong tho or some might be Firebirds but they all are the same Just like now most are the same now days but those Spoilers lmao can I get a Second on that 😂
That engine sound is unmatched
Flipper, I don't know where you keep coming up with all of this great footage from the best dirt track ever! But for one man's greed.
These were given to me by someone to post on youtube to preserve the history of the sport.
@@FlipperFord13 Thanks for the reply and thank you for posting. I started going to Atomic during the first year and really miss the place.
Empty stands there in the later years. Old one lane Atomic.

That doesn't look like Atomic near Chillicothe
The World's Fastest 1/3 Mile Dirt Oval! Atomic Motor Speedway CLOSED after 2006 season. Lenoir City, TN right outside Knoxville Tn.
It is now a Crete Trucking Terminal

Yes it is!
@ 32:55 is Leon Archer in the #222
5:42 that's Leon Archer. Man he was the stuff way back when. He and Buck Simmons were my 2 favorite drivers from the 80s.
