Bob Pierce at Florence Ky 1990. Do I detect moisture in the speedway?

Now that is a gorgeous race car, right there. Not all twisted up in the front and jacked up on left rear with the front valance 10" shorter on the right side compared to the left and half rolled over in the corners with the right front stuck out a foot farther than the right rear. That vintage cars were the prettiest dirt late models of the generic era.

I watched Ol' Highbank win a ton of races driving for Lee & Dottie Byers.

Great looking cars, not like today's cars that look like a rolling wheel chock.

A typical late model from about a decade prior to the time the transition was made to non stock appearing bodies and non stock frames and suspension's. Unfortunately I was not old enough to remember these cars when they were raced but I love the way they looked. I'd be surprised if there wasn't a big block in this car in spite of the 283 small block call-out's on the front fenders!

I'm not positive but I believe this car was owned by Bill Kreighauser of Gridley, Illinois and Lynn Wilson drove it. This '67 Chevelle was a thing of beauty, artwork on a dirt track!

Ron Pallister, I think around 1976
