an original 'big willie' daytona on ebay..

[427.060]

I saw that car a couple years ago at a show in Tennessee. Very cool car.

Is this the same one that was sold a few years back? I thought I remember her coat was in the back seat yet too along with her helmet.

Brotherhood Raceway was only a few minutes from me, so I tested cars out there from time to time. I'm a little too pale to be in with that click, but it was a neat place to do the straight line thing until some idiot, about to be tried or sentenced, can't remember which, on child molestation charges, decided not to apply his brakes at the end of his run. That was the end of him, his Mustang, and Brotherhood Raceway (shortly thereafter).

Terminal Island, not far from the Vincent Thomas Bridge toll booths. Shut down in '95 (second time). There was talk a couple years ago about reopening, but it never did. Fun place, but a lot of bangers.

Interesting thread on the car with the story of the "barn find".

[/ QUOTE ]I raced there every weekend for quite a while (bottom 11 second 64 Vette, and tribute 68 Camaro "Grumpy's Toy IV"), and didn't see any banger activity. Big Willie would not tolerate any drama, and everyone that attended knew that. There may have been some that had the look, but, the behavour(sp) had to be left at the gates.
