I remember this day very well. It was called the Shoebox Showdown. I remember Christine going into the sand and watching them thrash on it in the pits. They were looking for a bell housing to borrow because it cracked in the accident.
I used to hit the IHRA races with my pops at Bristol in the 85-87 time period. Was lucky to see Carpenter and Vandergriff many times. Thanks for posting.
I went to many super chevy shows with my parents in the late 80's early 90's. I'll never forget that soft seal blue and yellow 57 chevy during the 1992 indy super chevy. It was a badass car all the way down to the last bolt. Carpenters 55 chevy was so fun to watch over the years too. Those were the days.
You'd be dam right!!!!! That was when it was cool to have a shoebox. It was this very shoebox that made me fall in love with pro mod racing. Those were just plain sexy cars. Dam I miss them.
Back when drivers were really wheeling pro mods, clutching, dry hopping, banging gears, always car twisted up toting one front wheel. What an exciting times they were.
When racing was racing. Gotta love it

I wonder what year they started using the Kil-Kare sand rail(dune buggy) for the track service car
I wondered that myself. Had to be right around this time. I remember when the pink truck got parked near the ticket gate. Sat there for a long time.
