The entire racing community just lost a great racer in Cale Yarborough. I got the chance to meet him at his Honda dealership in S.C. What a great guy and just an over all great person. He will be missed by me and my family. Great show Timmy thanks for doing it
Such a shame Nascar has took all the innovation out of the sport, IMO something is wrong when old stories are better than what NASCAR has going on now. Thanks for sharing !!
The Daytona that Buddy Baker set the first 200mph closed course record with was garaged & tested in Huntsville, AL. They did "transmission & drivetrain" testing on runways of the old Huntsville airport. I used to have some of the old test logs (boring) stored somewhere.
Excellent video. I love the channel and watch every video. I would love to here more of the technical details of what it took to get a production car to run so fast and last for 500 miles. I consider the 1980s to be the last of actual old school stock car racing and it amazes me that they where able to get a race car to run 200 mph and last for 500 miles with the equipment and technology of that time period. I am convinced that stock car racing is the reason a modern v8 engine will last for 3 to 5 hundred thousand miles with very little mantinence.
Can you do a little more in depth on the 305 car , I've seen pictures of the chassis and that was 3 or 4 years ago an it's like it disappeared and know more updates on it.
the wing was orignally designed for a concept car . the designer engineer from Huntsville Alabama chrysler corp was John Vaughn . the record setting nose that was different from production on bakers car is in huntsville area .
There @4:33 many people still don't know that a a Superbird nose and a Daytona nose are NOT the same. Neither is the rear wing & uprights etc, the same. Lots of good info there.
From what I've seen ,the 304 small block performed very well in nascar, but in the Trans Am series they were disappointingly unreliable, at least for Gurney and Savage in the Cudas, I,m not sure if the Autodynamics team Challengers had the same issues? . Iv'e often wondered what the cause of the failures was ,and it was interesting that you pointed out that they were dry sump motors, which rules out oil surge as being a possible reason. Nobody had a better reputation than Keith Black.
Prayers for the Cale Yarborough family as he passed away this morning. 🙏

Small world, I live 10 minutes from commerce,ga. Small town with a train track running through the middle,,
I built a model of the 22 Daytona when I was a kid. Driver Dick Brooks?

Chrysler wing cars are cool, currently building a 1969 Dodge Daytona clone.

Perhaps I misunderstood, but did they hint that the car turned out to be one other than the 305 car as originally it was thought?

I love your show but I can't hear. Too many 340's. Please turn up the volume. Thanks
Very Interesting video

Stop chewing the crust details on 304 motor.
The present cup cars are way better.
