Re: The Dobbins #6 Sprint Car
What a treat. I saw this car run many times (thank you, Jimmy Voyles). I was probably there when many of the contemporary pictures were taken.
This post brings back great memories. Thank you. |

Re: The Dobbins #6 Sprint Car
The blue car was the last Dobbins car, at least Dobbins is on the hood.

We all stood in awe of Foyt from those two races, especially as I recall he started about 10 in one race and came out of the second corner about 2nd!!!! That was also the night he changed a right rear tyre to another during a stoppage and just went through the field like butter through a knife. What also amazed we Australians was the minimal wear on those tyres because of the make up of the track surface - not unlike a plasticine!!!! And we'd never heard Chevy V8s sound like McCullough Chainsaw engines before!!!! Mike |
