That does it, I'm gonna hunt down an old stock car and drive it at the Rock, I may even drive it TO the Rock. Also, can we take a minute to appreciate the fact that the guy with the Marty Robbins car is towing it with the A-Team van?

RIP Trickle. Growing up in Wisconsin, that man is my hero. When the “xfinity” series came to the Milwaukee Mile, trickle signs could be seen forever and a mile.

These videos on these old/brought back NASCAR cars are great. So many stories these things could tell, and it's great that the owners know so much about them and are willing to share some of that.

Growing up in Wisconsin its awesome to see the Dick Trickle car. Man was a legend on the short tracks. I got to see him a slinger speedway when I was younger.

Great to see some real old school stock cars, from back when a car was bought in a dealership, "built, " and raced! I was at the 1967 FIRECRACKER 400 in Daytona, and still have a picture that I took through the driver's side window of Wendell Scott's '65 Ford, which was running a stock steering wheel, wrapped with electrical tape! ALSO... there's just nothing on this planet that sounds like a 427 C.I. American stock car V-8 engine! Many thanks! 🔥🔥🔥

These are just the coolest things ever... can't wait to see a stapleton autoworks scheme running out there

[CAMELOT]

Was great to meet you! Amazing video my man! Squeeze in my car sometime and take a few laps haha.

[illiogicalphilosophy]

God I love this stuff. I've been following yours and Camelots story for a minute now. Bringing back the spirit of stock car racing, with the understanding, and respect that the sport and those inside deserve. We need a great reset in NASCAR. I miss the good ole boys series.

Cool seeing the Hot Rod Shop of Milwaukee on the rear quarter panel of the Trickle car. I'm friends with the old owner of the shop who now lives in AZ and is still building cars in his 80's.

Great to see action at the ROCK, I grew up by Rockingham motor speedway in the 70s and 80s, my dad took us to the nascar and drag races NHRA, IHRA, miss these Cars and the times. The ROCK ROCKS.

SUCCESS is only based on TIME and EFFORT and I think your BOTH doing an incredible job for two people who also have to make the videos at the same time setting up the shop so don't sweat the small stuff I promise it will all be done when you can and any fan of yours would understand and I am sure I am close to if not your NUMBER 1 FAN

Guys, I just gotta say thanks so much for pushing out the quality and quantity uploads . Your channel has fast become 1 of my all time favourites. No B.S, no pandering to the camera and you show the real struggle that comes with trying to balance life, work, fun, family and Racing.
Much love from Oz 🇦🇺👌🏼

That Trickle car is fantastic! Great video! The sounds were the best! When I saw you driving the 8 car onto the track I said to my self, "Oh boy, the hook is set!"
Dick Trickle is one of my all time hero's. One of the last of the independents. I got to meet him at Loudon NH back in the late 90's. We were racing in the bush series and the Cup race was the same weekend. Dick came driving in an old borrowed tractor trailer with one of those orange Schneider shipping trailers hauling his race car. He jumped out of the cab with a tee shirt and a pack of smokes rolled up in the sleeve, and jeans and cowboy boots. He had everything he needed to race including his car loaded into that trailer. He used metal ramps and oak planks to get the car unloaded. He saw us watching and said, "Hey! can you give me a hand unloading?" He was all by himself. I don't even know if he had a crew coming later or not. I had always liked him, but that was when he became a hero to me.

Years ago I was on an ARCA team, we got hired a few times by guys running retired stock cars in the HSCRA series to set their chassis up for road courses, and provide track support. A couple of the cars still had oval set ups underneath or were just so jacked up it’s amazing they didn’t wreck going down put road. Lol
This video gave me a lot of flashbacks. Super fun days

[crxman]

Love it. Only place that you can just walk up and say "lets hear the story" and you know youre about to have a 10min convo with a passionate car guy. Ive gotta get a car and head East for one of these

[somethinglikeawelder]

I'm so happy to see you making these historical stock car videos.
My dad worked with Kenny Thompson at Hendrick motorsports #5 Levi Garrett car back in the late eighties. I would hang around the shop, wash cars and sweep floors.
Kenny Thompson
is one of the best fabricators I ever had the pleasure of meeting. He is perfect for his own video on this channel. Just to let you know how good this man was...he was a salary employee and Hendrick still paid him to build custom racing oil
pans per oil pan.

The pink color under the other paint could have been the Summertime Lemonade sponsor car.

[MM_in_Havasu]

Very cool! Just saw your video pop in here as we speak. Glad they got some action coming back at the "Rock", and more good NASCAR/stock car history to be found! That is very generous of that person to let you go take a lap in his car, good times!
Big thanks to you & Logan for your continued quest of racing history, and I'm right there with you guys checking this stuff out! Hang in there man!

[wadepreston]

The sound of that Torino was so sick those 427s were the shit!!!
