Great moments in US Nationals history SS/AA and more
Hey all, I just finished another set of US Nationals uploads from 2012 SS class.
I have quit racing by then, and am going back as a fan, to enjoy what the best of the best are doing.
As a lifelong fan of big tire SS cars, I am now so biased, I can hardly stand to see what has happened in stock, so I didn't film or upload much of the blown stock cars, so there is not much in the stock library from this year.
I am wondering if any magazine ever covered the timeless efforts of the Westcott team, when they started to force everyone to up their AA hemi game. I felt they deserved more press for the epic final round engine change (forgot the year), when Charlie Sr. won, and how spectacular that was, and has to rate with the famous Lingenfelter helicopter engine flight story. There are other epic Indy efforts we have all seen. Anyone car to name their favorite? The press and magazine coverage does fuel the sport, and sets an example of how hard you have to work.
This years race was one where Charlie Jr let everyone get a head start and came from behind. Its most epic because the only guy brave enough to do a stick hemi car before this era, was Bullet Bob. I have never met a more common sense clutch guy than CW, and there are some breath taking efforts on this film. Many thanks to Charlie for all the help he provided me over the years. Just a great mind, innovator, power broker, and clutch supplier.
These 2012 films are classics with the new east side stands, and some great Dan Jacobs action. I am sorry if I skipped your racing efforts, maybe I just wanted to watch instead of film all of it. I like stick cars, as you can tell, and thought this will cheer you up this winter.
