Default RE: Challengers in NASCAR

Yeah, RLSH. I like that kind of racing a lot better than NASCAR.

Oh...back in the mid-1970s, a buddy and I used to go to the races that were held every Saturday night during the summer at the Iowa State Fairgrounds (one could pay 50 cents for a seat in front of the grandstand then sneak up to a better seat as soon as the races started). Most of the cars they were using were early-70s Camaros and Chargers. There was one guy, though, who raced each week with a 1957 Plymouth. It was a tank and invariably came in dead last in whatever 10-lap heat race it was in, thereby never making the 25-lap main event. But it was still cool seeing that 57 out there week after week.
