Thanks Frank. Although I'm surprised at how soft some of my old long lens shots were. Today's bodies are steel, and due to fan displeasure, Nascar has gotten away from the single-shape body template, allowing some manufacturer diversity. But, yes, even in 1983 the racing was more "stock car" than today. You have to go back to the mid sixties for the real thing. That's when Nascar started slinging rules left and right to prevent one make dominance.
