Another old tow vehicle video showing Dave Turners "Keene Hill Hemi" challenger being towed by a Road Runner. He told me he used to tow with a SuperBird also!!

Them guys one upped me, I flat towed from 1977 till well into the 80s. Graduated to an open trailer around 1990 then an 18' enclosed till I quit in 2010.

One of the best videos I've run across that shows how it was in the "old days" is the one of the boys going across country to the U.S. Nationals in Detroit.
Go to www.youtube.com "Ingenuity in action 1959". It takes less than a 1/2 hour and is pretty entertaining.
Yes,, I've gone from flat towing with tow hubs in the '70s to an open trailer and pickup truck and now a motorhome with an enclosed trailer, so I guess I'm part of the problem, not the solution,, so sue me. My 2 cents

:):)Yes, that is one of the best videos out there. Pretty amazing what was used back then.

:confused: Danny, you have made the standard progression in getting to the races. I know there isn't a solution to this deal. I just think the earlier versions of getting a race car to the track was more "fun". Like I have said before, it was very exciting seeing the open trailers and ramp trucks parked at motels when the boys (and girls) came to town.

:D:D:D With all that being said, I would like to see more of the pictures of what racers used in the past. It would be a chance to look back to the glory days of this awesome sport.

:( It is truly a shame that part of the reason for enclosed trailers is to prevent theft of parts and pieces from the racers. I know, when helping racers locally, they would go to the lanes and I would lock up and meet them there.

I wish I would have taken pictures in '95 with my '75 Pontiac Grand Safari Wagon towing my Skylark on a tow dolly. Graduating to the same open trailer I have now in '96 was a lot easier. Got rid of the Wagon and now use a '72 GMC pickup that looks like the "Farmtruck".

I have that recorded on a vhs tape from about 1988 or so. I was based in Greenwood from 86-90 and while watching TNN in the barracks heard "coming up, Canadian sportsman Alan Armstrong caused a commotion in the pits with his rig, we'll be right back" I flicked on the recorder and got the whole thing. I just have to remember where it is, I packed it with all my mini-vhs tapes I took when I was in Yugoslavia during the war. (can't go to war without a cam-corder right?) LOL

I'll see if I can find it.
