With everything from V8-60 midgets to bad ass Modifieds lined up for display and inspection from show goers, I had a hoot of a time looking these cars over.

Can you imagine how much fun beating on that Dodge around a banked dirt oval would be? My heart races at the possibility! not to mention the sheer balls the dudes had to climb into what were little more than crude go karts with V8 engines (yea, I know, low HP V8 engines, but still!
