Nascar Hall of Fame Opening/#71 Daytona, #43 Charger & Ol'Blue

[WINGR]

I would imagine alot of you were watching the coverage of the opening of the new Nascar Hall of Fame in Charlotte. If so you would have seen the awesome #71 Daytona which I believe is Tim W.'s car, as well as Richards Ol'Blue. Another awesome part of the coverage was when Richard drove up in his famous #43 Charger in which the commentators mentioned the sound of the Hemi. That car looked and sounded fantastic.

I was a little disapointed in the coverage.  I kinda wanted to se more on the old stuff.  I guess if they would have had more on the pioneers, some people would have been saying they wanted more of the new NASCAR.

Today many NASCAR fans consider Jeff Gordon and Rusty Wallace "Pioneers"

 Sad but true, Its the same thing with other sports all most people see is the here and now,not what it took to get there. Most people aren't into history.

So much for a "Hall of Fame".

I am not a NASCAR fan.  I have never been to a race, but since purchasing a car hauler that was given to Cotton Owens, owned by Owens, Marty Robbins, and Neil Castles, I have researched the history.  The old stories, drivers and history itself has got me interested.  I would go watch a race and believe the past NASCAR history is much more interesting than the corporate ran NASCAR of today.  I also understand, like other sports history the people who did it in the past, were there because they loved it.  They new all aspects of the sport, driving, mechanics, transport and promoting.

Maybe a "new" location for DSAC or Wing Warrior Club to consider for future reunions or annual meets. Combining the Hall of Fame & Charlotte Motor Speedway may give the "nostalgic" concept more meaning.

It has been on my mind, and would be a no brainer to combine a HOF visit with a meet.   We had talked about doing something in the Spartanburg SC area.   The only downside I could see to the Hall of Fame is it is in downtown Charlotte.

They should have put it by the track  ?     If you do get your meet set up that memory lane museum in morrisville really is cool and neil has been involved helping them out .
