    I saw Ronnie Sox and Landy race their restored race cars at South Mountain a few years ago. It was awesome. Actually I have it on video. I met both men, it was wonderful. Two outstanding people. :2thumbs:

    I was watching the show on SPEED, "Back in the Day"  and they where showing a Nascar race from the late 60's or it may have been early 70's, but the driver is racing with a cigarette in his mouth. :22yikes:
