In the mid to late '60's......Champion spark plugs gave out free spark plugs at most events. D&A Speed Sport Oil at Indy, free cases of oil......STP....T--shirts and product by the box full.....Hurst....Shifty Doctor....fix your Hurst shifter or give you the parts. Duffy's....Helped a lot of guys with parts.....Dick Moroso....just a great guy who liked to have fun. Local speedshop's (Van Iderstein's around here) helped a lot of us as well with discounted parts...There were plenty of events with free stuff and free food sponsored by local distributers for co's like CocaCola.....Local tracks and Division races gave free entry to Nat'l Record Holders a lot of times.
