    Thanks for sharing! NASCAR will never be the same as it was in the early 70s, but there is always one constant: Talladega always produces an exciting show for the fans. If only I could go back in time to attend a race in the golden era, with drivers like Richard Petty, David Pearson, Cale Yarborough, and the Allison brothers battling door handle to door handle, lap after lap.

    The good ole days........ No earnhardts, No hendrick motorsports, richard childress was the king of the back markers`. Big block v8`s.......no pit road speed...... race back to the flag.........no cautions because a hotdog wrapper crossed the track.........no soft walls.........no closing pit road........open faced helmets w/ bubble googles.
    the 60`s and 70`s were truly the golden era of NASCAR. Today`s mess is a mere shell of what it once was.
    They don`t race like this anymore and it`s a shame. The fan`s of today don`t know what they missed`or may not have been born yet but it was really something and is just as appealing now as it was then. This is a perfect example of changing times not necessarily being a good thing.Best of all you could buy a ticket for about $10.00.

When I got older a 73 Charger was the 1st car I paid for with my own money. I went on to buy a couple of Road Runners which I no longer have, but I've held on to my 70 Superbee for over 35 years.

      426 Wedge was produced until 1978. Hardly anybody used the Hemi after restrictor plates came into play due to it requiring a smaller plate which limited it to 480 or so HP, while the Wedge was getting around 490 with the plate.

      Yeah, and so were the cars! Just in the equipment around the driver, he's sitting in a seat with a panel on the right bracing him from being pulled to the right. There is no head support, they aren't wearing gloves, they're in open-faced helmets... etc., etc., etc.!!
      The looks of the new cars can't match these old machines, but the insides keep drivers alive. I like that the old cars looked like (if you squinted a bit) the cars that came right out of the showrooms. If you read some of the old stories about "creative" entries that not only "bruised the rules" but just plain stomped on them on the way out of the pits, they were pretty entertaining. That old saying was too close to the truth... "If you ain't cheatin', you ain't trying!"
      I spent about ten years as a Safety Marshall for SCCA, covering races for our SCCA races of course, but also for IMSA, CART, and NASCAR. I was amazed frequently at the crashes that drivers walked away from in the 1990s that would have been impossible to survive in one of these cars in these old films. The other thing is watching fans sitting right up next to the old chain-link fencing and then tires or sometimes even whole cars flying up to throw debris at the fans at 170+ mph. Seeing that in the films from that era reminds anyone who has forgotten just how dangerous the business was 50, 60, or 70 years ago.

    Watching this very dangerous race is scaring me. You see, I've grown accustomed to watching the 2019 Daytona & Talladega 500. They are much safer & my blood pressure seldom goes above DAMN NEAR DEAD it's so boring. We need a new sanctioning body that will let real men race real car's. Today's NASCAR has us watching the pony ride & telling us it's racing. I've been a fan since 1959 & my opinion matter's.

    • @kainhall

      your opinion actually does NOT matter...... just because your a boomer doesnt mean you control anything
      however.... i do agree with you
      they will never listen to the fans..... its going to take a new sanctioning body and new races to get back to STOCK stock car racing
      but that is change..... and people dont like change
      even if the new "FASTCAR" is exactly!!! what you and i want..... simply because it does not say "NASCAR"
      most people will ignore it
      also..... i think they can still have safe races
      "real men racing real cars" = real dead men, and real sad fans
      if the dale crash happened today..... with the high definition cameras, and rapid sharing of info
      it would be a LOT worse..... FAR FAR more people would get depressed
      people dont need to fight, or die.... to make NASCAR view-able and popular again
      ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      the safer barrier is just smart..... doesnt effect the racing, and makes stuff WAY WAY WAY safer
      the roll cage tech has come a LONG way..... along with the seat belts, HANS device, ETC
      if you took dale Sr's car he died in..... but added a safer barrier, HANS, and stronger roll cage.....
      that old dude would probably still be racing today
      again.... no need for "real men in real cars"
      take a "real" car..... make it fast as fuck.... make everyone run the same safety equipment.....
      and you will have fast, interesting racing..... that doesnt result in a death at every race like the late 60s/70s

      @Sideshow BOB At the 1972 Winston 500 the pole position speed was 192.498 miles per hour and they did use restrictor plates at this race. Country star and Nascar driver Marty Robbins was busted and disqualified when Nascar found that his team modified his restrictor plate. 2 years earlier Buddy Baker ran 200.447 in an unrestricted Hemi Dodge Charger Daytona at a test session at Talladega. Nascar later started putting restrictor plates on all the big block cars.
