STOCK CAR RACING 1974 AUG - ENGLAND, WELD, D. PEARSON

 

Within this issue you will discover the following topics:

1)   A BIG LlTTLE - Ah, the fine kettle of fish that NASCAR wrought still continues to sit too long in the sun; more carburetor changes, and the small-blocks are competitive; stay tuned.

2)   RESURRECTION - Hagerstown had run a dual show of sprints and stocks; for 1974, the sprints are gone, the stocks are in.

3)   SLOW START - The wily Gray Fox, David Pearson, usually takes a little bit of time to get his program moving, but once it starts to roll, the rest find second place a comfortable position.

4)   SIZZLER III - Almost something beyond a race, the Spring Sizzler has turned into a very holy springtime happening in New England, where modifieds are modifieds and the men are just a little more than men.

5)   KENNY WELD - On one of the nation's toughest circuits, a name keeps coming up again and again, and for those who've followed his career and know of his dedication to work, there's little wonder.

6)   McGRIFF - The Old Man Of The Mountain, who had spent what are supposed to be his prime years carving out a business in lumbering, has come lumbering east with a Petty car and high hopes.

7)   BANJO MATTHEWS - No longer a man who has to go racing for a living, no longer a man who would think of going racing if he couldn't afford it, Banjo is a man who has a plan.

8)   THE THRILL OF VICTORY - Ever wonder, when you sit down to watch one of the ABC-TV telecasts of a stock car event, what goes into getting the picture from the track to your TV set?

9)   WIMBLEDON RAINS - They do fun things on rainy weekend nights in jolly ole England.

10)   SATURDAY NIGHT - It's all right with the English, since there's a covered grandstand and no yellows.

11)   SATURDAY RAINS - Nothing stops the stocks in England on a Saturday night. Yes, it's all very confusing - until you read all about it.

12)   GAS MILEAGE TIPS - Something for everybody in these gas-less days.

13)   FUEL CELLS- They began as a nice addition to the airplane; then they were strengthened into something that could take a very rapid crash; and they've just kept going since then.
