Stock Car Racing: Early NASCAR
To make my Doc Hudson fanfic as authentic as possible, I've been binging old stock car races, and...damn...are they intense. Especially this one at Langhorne Speedway in '51. The race ended, not because the leader crossed the finish line, but because there was a firey 10+ car pileup that completely blocked the track.
This is another awesome race (Daytona, '52). The track here is unique because it's half asphalt and half beach. And look at the nightmarish ruts that form on the south turn as the race progresses...
Such amazing history...wish I could've been there.
I imagine the vehicles from the WOC being a bit more resilient than the ones depicted here...but races would have been punishing on their bodies. The dust alone would have been awful to deal with, especially if it had been treated with oil, like they did in Langhorne. Drivers slowly losing visibility through their windscreens as the race progresses...and or overheating because they're breathing in too much sediment.
Maybe that's why they eventually transitioned to asphalt...because drivers were developing breathing problems from years of racing on loose dirt.

Vasser Sullivan left the 2022 IMSA Rolex 24 at Daytona wondering what could have been after their N°14 Lexus RC F GT3 just missed out on a GTD Pro podium by finishing fourth.
