Comments: | Comment from Hank: Hope you like the photo - It is kinda exciting in subject. Sammy's car is doubled because he is under the bright spotlight by the starters stand. so his car was lit by the flash and the bright spotlight. I took it,.. I sat on it all these years, just thought I'd share the moment, Hank Winecker |

02.19.13 | 3-Wide | Thanks for sharing it Hank. It's spectacular.
Captures so much.... Two of the greatest passing under Those are the obvious things... Less obvious is the waving of the checkered flag not only on this race, but on the end of the era of coupes and sedans running up front in the modified class. By the following year, many of the top modified teams would strip off the bulky coupe and sedans and replace them with more sleek Gremlin, Falcon and Mustang bodies.... Yup.... the checkered flag was waving. |

Joe, the flagman for the 1973 season was Ronnie Seiple. |
02.25.13 | 3-Wide | Thanks Warren - I should have looked a little closer. I think Tex flagged at some point in 1972, then I'm not sure when/how long Ronnie Sieple was the flagman, and then I'm guessing that Harry Dee began shortly afterward (1974?) |
