Thanks for the responses guys. The pictures are incredible,,especially the Petty wreckage,which I'd never seen before. We may never know which car had the earliest "birtrhdate",, but I'm thinking the 43jr was first out of the gate.
Way to keep the thread going fellas!

I don't know where that happened, down south somewhere. Maybe one of you guys know?

If I'm not mistaken it was a Yellow River Dragstrip outside Atlanta. GA. Please correct me if I'm wrong...

Sorry, it was at Dallas Dragway in Dallas, Ga as stated in another post...
