Interesting story behind the Kenny Brightbill #84 shot. He actually WON that ride in a popularity contest in Gater Racing News... readers VOTED him into that one-off ride. Fuzzy Van Horn also won a ride in a Benny Parsons back-up car, renumbered #77.

The 84 was owned by the Makar family, whose son Jimmy was the first crew chief for Joe gibbs Racing, with Dale Jarrett driving. Jimmy is also Dale's brother-in-law.

Who is in the famous "Fireball 99"? I was proud to have him attend this years Modified Reunion.

Name these 2 drivers. Both are still active. The 27 is NOT Tim Richmond...

Sorry, guys...hadn't been on KARNAC in a coupla weeks...been trying to find something similar for up here in Ohio, but so far, no luck The track I'm going to for their Opening Night, pushed back the season opener because they were putting in concrete slabs and repaving the track, but we had some bad weather here that delayed all that. It's the only weekly track up here that runs the asphalt wedge Late Models on a regular basis.

Anyways...

I wouldn't have guessed Loy Allen in that rear-engined #21. ABYSS is posting some stuff that stumps even me, but a lot of y'all are gettin' 'em right :-) Interesting to see a lot of those one-off rides; I'd never have gotten that 84 as Brightbill. But - I *did* know that the 87 was Balough :-) I believe that pic was in the first edition of the Florida Motorsports Pictorial by Eddie Roche.

I just don't have much right now in the form of trivia...LOL...but y'all keep it up! I certainly enjoy the old stuff :-)
