Still many won't go!!! Sad!

**Highside Hustler25** · 10-07-2023, 04:20 PM

Is this the famous 24 hours of Alabama race?

**SLlDlNG SIDEWAYS** · 10-07-2023, 04:28 PM

Do they still have racing without an ambulance on the premises?

**Punisher88** · 10-07-2023, 05:21 PM

They have local EMS and ambulance on-site at all times now. The culture has changed, but the long weekend remains.

We always referred to it jokingly as, the 72 Hours of Phenix City, but I enjoyed every minute, so... If you don't like it, you don't have to come. From 1986 up thru when the World Finals race started scheduling on top of the National 100, this race and the Blue Grey 100 @ Cherokee was how we concluded our season. Most seasons it coincided with the Final Nascar race at Atlanta which we listened to on the radio simultaneously during the day and most years on the way home. With the way our country and economy are headed I think taking a more positive view on things is better for the long term health of the sport overall instead of posting back handed and derogatory comments that don't add to the conversation.

I can't even fathom that many classes. But if it works, good for them.
Crown Vics? that's something new for me.
They once had a mini van class near me but it fizzled out.

Was it Hunt to the front that raced Crown Vic's at Bristol?

Yep...the won it too. We went by the track that Saturday (burnout day) on the way down to Johnson City and you wouldn't have known anything was going on. Barely any traffic heading in.

I didn't know they won it. I was pretty sure they were in the race but, wasn't 100% sure. Thanks for the confirmation.

As a said above. The culture has changed tremendously. Billy is no longer in any managerial role.

They say that Ford has a better idea. They hit the mark on those there Crown Vickys ! ! One final resourse to the classic rear wheel drive machine.

Crown Vics are very popular here in Central Indiana. They race both on dirt and pavement, and some guys will run their cars on both. They are popular to watch because they are solid, like tanks and their rules have been enforced. Hopefully owners won't begin abusing the rules and drive the costs up. Not sure if anyone saw the Crown Vic race at Winchester, IN Speedway this summer on FLO but it was wheel to wheel and a closer finish than the Silver Crown cars.

They popular all over the south especially Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama and Louisiana not as race cars but ghetto gliders with 24� gold rims and low profile tires.
