Stock Engines? Nuts!
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.
