From a very early age of about 4, my Dad used to take me to the world's famous Devils Bowl Speedway!
Car guys would absolutely cry today, seeing all the carnage from a demolition derby back then with all the 40s and 50s cars!
Yeah, a lot of them were 4 doors, but they were still plenty of Desirable two door vehicles.
It was all relative back then . When I was stationed in Hawaii, I raced at the local dirt track in hobby stock. I would buy cheap vehicles off of military personnel leaving the island under orders but were not allowed to ship vehicles. A lot of the time, they were given to me. After I finished racing with them, I would scrap what parts were good and then sell the car to the junkyard.
I had an old 72 or 73 Thunderbird that all it cost me was a $10 transmission tail housing. I think I ran that one the longest and actually got a couple of wins with. That thing was a brute! I finished it off with a demolition Derby win.
