I'm young I'm only 31 but the cars at the track my parents use to own from 1999-2002 in the V8 class called thunder stocks was all from the 70&80s that the drivers been racing since the 70s and 80s and it was like a time capsule we would get 40-50 cars show up for that class every Sunday and racing started at 1 pm and almost all the cars was built in the 70s and 80s and the drivers just kept them and never really built new cars they just reskin them every winter ❤and keep fixing them and it was awsome seeing these guys wheel 3250 lb high horsepower open motor except no v8s and a 500 lift cam rule and 750 CFM max 4 bbl carb rule and all the cars had around 480-540 HP with 10 inch latemodel slicks and no power steering in none of them and the bpdoes all looked like these and was unique and it was a very small high banked 1/4 mile oval asphalt track. Other class was 4 cylinder mini stocks and that's it two classes and had 40-50 cars per class every race day show up and heats determine who goes on trailer and who races the feature race and top 3 in each heat ran the trophy dash race which was 5 laps just for a trophy before feature
At least,it looks like they were doing better racing in these 2 division's than the others that demolished most of the field. Thank you again for sharing 🤗🙏 Truly appreciated 👍🤗❤️🙏

By any chance you know where or how I could get in these types of races. I'm just trying to live up to my dream of racing.

@Debbie Nelms Dirt Track Racing , just saw this recently on RUclips now I'm hooked. I like the old school cars
Anyone know what type of car is the #7??
Could be an early-50s Chevy Bel Air, looks like it cause of the body style.
@@sethguest781 theses cars are from 70s dirt racing ?
@@wesleyamancio3686 Maybe some, they run various body styles ranging from '50s to about '90s I believe.
