1963 Sprint Car - Those Were The Days

1963 Sprint Car - Those Were The Days
1963 Sprint Car - We Examine Vintage Oval Track Technology - Circle Track Magazine
The first pictorial essay in a series examining oval track technology from decades past and how innovations fit into modern day racing

There was a time in racing when almost everything that hit the track was home built or sourced from a junkyard. It was a time before turnkey race cars could be bought from a company that built them exclusively. Race cars began life as pieces of tubing scattered on the shop floor. Parts and pieces were fabricated by hand. Creativity in the name of speed was king.
