Dale Jr.'s Lost Speedways- Metrolina Episode

[mjlan]

Just watched the episode on Metrolina Speedway (I think its around Charlotte somewhere) and in the period pictures they found they show a 71-73 racecar. Kind of neat to see one in that environment.

Yes, it's in Charlotte. Here's a writeup about it.

I like it, it hits across topics that interest me.

I think the Metrolina is the fairgrounds. Use to sell at swap meets there in the 70's. His dad use to drive a Comet seen him run on the dirt at Greenville, S.C.. way back. Dale E. always used a Ford mustang seat for years even in his Chevy.
