I'll Eat My Hat RACE: Webster defines the word "race" as (1) A com . petition of speed in running I (2) Any contest of speed in ' acting, racing, etc.j (3) To uke part in a competition of , speed; (4) To compete with in ' a competition of speed. So what you say... I say that if any event is to be billed as such, that it should , be just that. Certainly if you put a handicap on a certain brand of cars, you should handicap all brands accord ingly. Sure, the rules for bid the running of the "high riser" engine but how much did the '^ligh riser" help? I don't think you could put too much emphasis on the "high riser". The bans were put in to keep down the speed, so some will argue. But did they? At Daytona, Junior Johnson won the 50 mile race at an average speed of 168. 381 miles per hour. In the abbreviated 500, Johnson was averaging 168 MPH for 21 laps, or for 61 1/2 miles. So. you just can't argue that NASCAR put these rules into effect to low er the speed. The letters NASCAR stand for National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing. If you have ever examined one of these cars and can come away and say its a Stock Car , I'll eat my hat which I don't have, but will buy one if you can convince me its a stock car. About the only thing stock about it is the body. Quite a few of the parts and assemblies never saw Detroit or where they make car parts. While in Daytona, we had the opportunity to visit Hol man and Moody's display show room and the engines that were on display looked as much like a stock engine as a chicken looks like a duck, and we could only see the outside of it. I guess only a few people know how it looks inside. So far this year racing has just been what you might say and intra-squad affair. Just about as interesting as an intra-squad football, basket ball, or baseball game. Un less you have some outside competition you can't expect it to be competitive. I know that a lot of you are think ing that if it is not com petitive, why did about 80, 000 people pay six dollars and up to see the race. Poss ibly some of the reasons are that geographically Daytona Beach is not located close to the center of the racing belt. From Dayton* to Darlington It is about 400 miles and that is the closest track. Anyone living South of Daytona would have to travel better than 400 miles to see a race. 1 grant you that there are a lot of fans that will do this, but not too many- Conse quently, they confine their races to about wo^r sM" son, and thats the 600 and the Firecracker 400 on July Fourth. Another reason is that the last big race of the season is in Charlotte and it is usually late in October. From October to February is about five months and they as e hungry for a race. And then there is the fringe benefit. You can sort of make a short mid-winter vacation by com bining a trip to Florida and a few days at the beach. The rain abbreviated 500 was just about the worst thine that could have happened to Bill France and NASCAR. Looks like everything went wrong. First, the so called Indianapolis group of drivers did not participate. Second, only about 49 cars were en tered and several of these were wiped out In the second 100 mile qualifying race, Fri day. Only 43 started and ot these forty-three, only eleven could even hope to be the eventual winner. Of the forty-three starters there were twelve 1965 Mod els , twenty-three 1964 models , and eight 1963 models. The different makes of cars were 29 Ford Products, 5 Chrysler Products and 9 General Mot ors Products. Ford products took* the first eleven posit ions and then there was a Pontlac In twelfth. The next race In our area will be a one hundred miler on the dirt track at Spart anburg, Saturday night and then they will move over to Gene Sluder's fast 1/2 mile track at Weaverville for a 100 mller Sunday afternoon Gene Sluder says he ex pects about twenty or more drivers for that one, that is, if not too many wreck or have trouble Saturday night in Spartanburg. Then on the 28th of March they will be at Bristol, Tenn essee for a 500 lap. 250 mile race, and in Atlanta on the 4th of April." I believe that by the 4th of April some thing will happen to get tlw other makes of cars in. If not. I believe that 1965 will be a bad year for NASCAR. More next week.
