So cool.

I'd rather watch them race in cars like that today then what they actually run in NASCAR.

I never really knew much of the history of Nascar but I did not know they let convertibles race in the first race.
And speeds of over 140mph in those huge heavy cars is crazy.

Motorsports history is always full of surprises. I watched a documentary on the Indianapolis 500 last year. The really early history was amazing!
