And you guys thought that 1970 Talladega race was a rare gem to find? Well now this one goes well beyond the point of just that!
"Through the turn. They're as tight as a beggers budget!"
Awesome to see more clips of Curtis Turner running. A supremely underrated driver in NASCAR’s history
It’s incredible how they can find these old races from 1960’s and post them in 720p
If it was originally filmed with a 35mm camera (which came out in the 60’s), then it was recorded in a resolution that actually exceeds 1080p. The problem from back then was, they didn’t have viewing devices that could take advantage of it. 35mm is still the standard in the film industry to this day
@@mengers06 yup, it's hard to think about, but back then there wasn't a "pixel" or a "resolution" which makes it interesting to convert.
Uhhhh, I don’t know if you missed this but they actually have some old Darlington races in 4K.
@@mengers06 35mm has never been the standard. Movies are shot in 65mm film and then bounced to 70mm for prints with sound.
@@andrewrollason4963 I don’t think sports would be shot in 65mm it would be 16mm the same NFL films shot on forever.
I was 5 years old and was probably at this race with my family, I remember people climbing the trees outside the back stretch fence to watch it.
The way the animator speaks is very radio friendly. 📻 very descriptive and never a dull line.
“Pearson still drives as if the devil is running second”
I live about 10 miles from this track. Its paved now, but still has the old track feel. They still run races at this track.
That's good to hear
Always a know-it-all.
This is not the complete race, just the highlights. I was there for this race with my brother and a friend. There is more footage of this race in the long lost movie "Tiny Lund , Hard Charger " that came out about this same time . No one seems to have a copy of this movie that followed Tiny along the Nascar circuit . It has great footage of a lot of races on asphalt and dirt featuring many of the drivers of that era.
Hopefully someone will come up with a copy, since it was shown in theatres and was in 35mm film and 16mm as well.
Awesome dirt racing back in those days.
WOW! the names in that's race. AWESOME!!
The people in the tree tops though, man, that's some dedication.
Why is this better quality than some of the recordings from the early 2000’s races
I love seeing old race footage.
Who doesn't, it's like stepping into the past
That 43 is gonna be a multiple time champion. Trust me. I know one when i see one!
Just not at that race!
@@ldnwholesale8552 thats petty
Curtis and David really knew how to wheel.
What a good announcer. “They’re as tight as a beggars budget.”
This is classic dirt racing can't wait to see the dirt race
The sound of those old big blocks though, nothing like that sound nowadays.
"Limps away at school zone speed"
I was in the stands for this race,I didn't know what asphalt racing was. Ned Jarret took over the track in1967 and had it paved.He also had the trees cut down off 3 and 4. The good ole days!
Grew up right near Hickory!!
Wow, more of these, please.
Aaahhh, the good old days☺️
How old are you
Huh I miss them
@@OakleeF3 100 years old
@@user-nl9xh8iw4v makes sense
What made them "good"?
Short and sweet! Can't wait for Bristol!
Races from this era should be uploaded more often instead of races from the 1990s and 2000s which are mostly already on youtube
Me encanta ver estos momentos retros
When i was a kid I would walk through fields to Riverside Raceway .I would buy a gen admission ticket and jump the fence to the esses grandstand . Watch Petty cut through the dirt.
All your Legendary drivers have raced the dirt!!! (Including all these boys in this video, Mario Andretti, Dale Earnhardt, and this list goes on too big to name them all!)
I'd love to see this new age of Nascar to race the dirt, I'd actually pay to watch that event!
Most these drivers wouldn't have a clue as to how to drive! Lol
The Silver Fox David Pearson.
only 1950's kids remember
I like this...please post more!
Too kool. Love the announcer!
Well, that was quick.
Grew up in Lenoir, went to Tri-County Speedway several times growing up. My parents never took me over to Hickory so ill be looking forward to seeing this.
Man, you missed some great races at Hickory especially the 70s thru the 90s. There were some true wars fought there and a ton of torn up cars
@@mattgriffin7822 I have a relative who worked at Autozone in Hickory and knew many of those people. Most likely rhe reason I didn't ever get to go! Lol
Se ve que era una linda época
I wish I lived back then, instead of now all the time.
Ned Jarrett is the most under rated greatest driver ever! 50 wins and 2 championships and retired early.
"the fastest half hour in television"
nice
Old Motorsport announcers were the best lol
I was born in hickory and go there a lot to see the races
i'd like to see the 1985 Winston 500 NBC Feed where Elliott comes back from 2 laps down and wins.. they have a version online with MRN Call, but haven't been able to find NBC Feed.
We watched that race on an old sat dish then , badass awesome Bill from Dawsonville if we only new to record all them
@@chrisjordan6693 If you upload it, let us know.
Always a know-it-all
Yess, I love it
It's tighter than a Beggar's budget !!! Hot damn !!!
Golden era of NASCAR.
Thank Yo
I just wanna say that nascar is my dream job and I will be just like dale sr one day
?
My br i love nascar
What a wonderful commentary. How did they fit those monsters on such a tiny track
You should have seen these monsters on tracks like Bowman Gray stadium in Winston Salem, NC.
@@robertmckinney46 I am a Brit and have not had the chance to see that
Cloverleaf Speedway Cleveland Ohio... Figure 8 track.....lots of T-bone action ...
Elmo on the pole!
Oh yeah
Any chance they have the 1970 National 500?
Los autos no eran tan seguros como los de ahora. pero era muy hermosos y pesados
How tf is this so high quality?
i dont know man lmfao
Because it's on 35mm analog film
@@polycube868 thanks
Those were [sort of] real cars unlike the 'things' of today.
It will be really interesting to find how the modern things do on dirt. I know good dirt sedan racers with ex Nascar engines with very good power but was useless on dirt. Though seemed good in ski race boats!
I suspect those dumb rear steer things last weekend were faster though.
I believe this is when derby was allowed in sooo 18's
This track was asphalt before me and William got there after enchilada Saturday at El Burríto Picanté
This race gave 400 points to win, down to 16 for 25th on back. I think that was the minimum that year. By comparison, the Daytona 500 gave 5,050 to win.
The weird part is a 250 lap Cup race at Hickory world hold the same weight as a 500 lap Cup race at Dover in the history books.
Turner just spun Ned! Daggum
notice how they are not wrecking every single lap
Modern race cars aren’t best suited to race on tracks designed in the 1960’s and 70’s, the old cars were so much slower and less aero dependent.
🤤🤤🤤
What is on the front of Curtis Turner's Ford?
Screen to keep dirt from clogging the radiator
A screen, just like we used to run on our vehicles back in the 60's and 70's to keep the bugs from filling your radiator and plugging it!
@@tomt9543 Kyle Busch could have used that today lol
1966 that the time when ford win in 24hrs of le mans
That was short
It's only 8 minutes, weird, but it's from 1966
They didn’t televise full races from back then, just highlight reels during sports segments on tv.
@@Gasmask11000 Thanks for giving me the reason.
Who commentated this?
Proof that is not impossible to race on dirt now a days
This is apparently before the yellow flag was invented. Cars at full speed while guys are on the track pushing the car back onto the track.
Too Short
If NASCAR wanted to run a dirt race so bad, why didn't they go to a an actual dirt track? When the series races at Bristol, I want to see the cars run on the 1/2 mile pavement. From what I've seen in the practice sessions, the dirt at Bristol isn't working.
They need to go up the road to Wythe raceway in Rural Retreat, Va. to see how Perry and Fred Brown prepare a dirt track. They have a beautiful prepared track with almost no dust and it has a nice glaze to it that gets better as the racing program goes on. Bristol's dry , dusty, one groove track will turn off many first time dirt track attendees and regular Cup viewers.
Because what dirt track could hold a Cup event crowd size, even with the pandemic crowd restrictions?
@@vidmasterK1 Don't have to have a dirt race as part of the cup series. Watching asphalt cars run on dirt doesn't appeal to many.
@@vidmasterK1 Knoxville, Iowa could handle a cup race easily and with no dust!!
@@vidmasterK1 Eldora. NASCAR truck series already goes there
This was before the chase and playoff format ruined NASCAR
This was before you even had a life to begin with
In 1966, points were awarded based on the prize money offered at the track lol. Way worse than the chase or playoff format
Points format in the 60s are worse than nowadays
Then stop watching. Seems to me you’re just fishing for likes.
Keep in mind that the driver who finished second in the point standings never won a race. Just like today, he was rewarded with lots of points for being consistent every race. And first place won 15 races! And the runner up won zero races (and only led like 150 total laps). Chew on that, Battias.
Oh when u could drive them off the lots to the track now they are just fake bodys this is when it was stock
I just love pre 80s racing
