Bobby, They didn't have 200 Super cars, for one thing.
We used to have to load the cars and take them to the motels to work on them.
It was not unusual to go to the motel, have dinner, then change a cam, or trans., or ring and pinion, and have it all done by dark.
That would be just about impossible to do today.
Very few had motor homes either, so the after hours socializing and cookouts didn't occur.
