OT:Looking for a piece of post-race footage.

In this week's Autosport there is an interesting article about driver conduct in Nascar, the article refers to a notorious dust-up between Cale Yarborough and a pair of Allisons at the 1979 Daytona 500. Is this online? ++ SP

That was a famous little fight at the end of the '79 Daytona 500. The real reason it was big news is that was the first year CBS actually aired the race live. So it was like Jerry Springer 10 years before fighting on tv became popular. davehenrie

Yup, that brawl ushered in the era of televised NASCAR races. All the invloved parties laugh about it now, but it was a big deal on that particular day, no doubt. Probably the only other sought after piece of video since is the 'Pass in the grass'. Both timeless NASCAR memories. I would say BE's domination in the mid-1980's on the speedways in particular, but he was SO dominant that it wasn't really special. The guy could make up two laps (without the current lucky dog rule) at nearly any track, and his sloped back Thunderbird with its enormous HP forced GM to produce a limited number of GP and MC/SS fastbacks for the street just so they could try race the new bodystyle and try to catch up. Can you imagine turning 210 avg laps at Daytona today? Or 212 avg laps at Tally? Me either. The bullets they drive now would likely be in the 220's...

That is the thing...Nascar allowed Chevy to build a special one-off Monte Carlo to keep up with the Tbird, but a few years later when the Ford was behind the Lumina, the Chevy crowd screamed bloody murder when Ford was given a bit of extra nose.... kids.... dave henrie

Nope, someone complaining because I shut off his connection because his system had a virus. He wanted to get back on the network, but he hadn't followed the instructions that were clearly laid out. Considering how many students I have contact with who are like that, I fear for our future... :-( Eldred -- Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett Member Screamers Racing League IICC League GPLRank -2.4 MoGPL rank +302.38 ChallengeRank +54.48 MoC +743.77 Hist. +82.82 MoH in progress N2k3 rank:in progress Remove SPAM-OFF to reply.

Heheh I'm in a similar position and our local college except I concentrate more on making sure the hardware and software is there for them to surf for porn, etc. We don't have to worry too much about Kazaa, etc as it's throttled at 0.1Kb/s <g>.

If you guys were watching Martinsville, they showed this clip towards the end of the race for some reason. Eldred, can you give me the URL to your site again? I seem to have lost it. Jason
