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.

Tony Rossi...Rossi transmissions............and.........The party that Racing HEAD Service used to throw every year for a few of their close friends at Indy..........( chuckles to himself)

Who in the 60's--70's---80's didn't have an STP decal on their car........they were very big !!!!!!!

All the way up to the mid eighties, you could go to the midway and get gaskets from Mr. Gasket, oil from Quaker State, Pennzoil,or Valvolene, a jet from Holley, a chip from MSD, get a tranny rebuild from Stanley at TCI, most everything was free and now most don't carry the product with them.

Bardhal, Motion, Hubert Platt, Malco? Do these count?

At the '79 Summernationals in Englishtown, Jim Beatty from ATI rebuilt my A-1 powerglide for zip! I also remember getting free oil from Kendall. NGK was just starting out in the US and they gave out plugs at most events. I got plenty of cans of CRC and Gumout too.
