Semi-Official Cool Old NASCAR Pics Thread. (idea stolen from ZOOOM with his blessing)

[KevMcNJ]

Ive been toying with the idea of doing this for a few weeks ever since a bunch of old Wood Bros pics and other pics from 1988 were uploaded in a NASCAR thread about I dont even remember what. I think it was something about the Wood Bros car looking Old skool for Speedweeks

I didnt want to do it without getting a green light from ZOOOM whose semi official cool old Indy pics thread has become a monster here @ TF.

He loved the idea so here goes.

First 4....

Ya gotta start with The King. A hero card from 1978. I bet thats Michigan.

Dale Earnhardt hero card from 1982 (love the color coordinated Nikes )

I LOVE the cars from this era. There is just something cool about this brick of a Thunderbird.

Here are just a few I have that I've taken over the years. I have A BUNCH more!


Elliot Forbes-Robinson Daytona 1982


Buddy Baker Daytona 1983


Kyle Petty Daytona 1982


The Silver Fox David Pearson Daytona 1982. David drove this car in the 82 Busch Clash. Dick Brooks qualified and raced this car in the 82 500. I think David was driving in this picture. This was taken on the first day of practice I think.


Bill Elliott & Ron Bouchard Daytona 1983


Dale Earnhardt Daytona 1983

The 96 car... Lonestar JR? I sorta kinda remember that ride. Did ya ever notice the hood in that picture of the 96 car? It doesnt even come close to being a tight fit. Hanging a body like that would get ya fired from a Pro-Cup team these days

Who was in the 13 car? Never seen that one before

[kkoether]

The 96 was Elliot Forbes-Robinson's ride in 1982.

The 13 is probably Dick Brooks.

[kkoether]

I'm pretty sure that was David Pearson in the #13 Carolina Tool Car. That was Daytona 1982.

The first car to exceed 200mph at Daytona! It's Rick Roland in his ARCA car. This thing was a rocket!

The 44 Piedmont Cutlass probably is Sterling, not Terry.

Thank you for the correction. My memory ain't what it used to be. I'll edit my post.
