Tighe Scott started in the stock cars at Nazareth. When
the Tri-State organization formed Tighe supported the club by running at Harmony. His
father, one of the finest gentlemen you would ever meet, supported Tighe's efforts and
racing at Harmony. In the 1979 Daytona Tighe was running a strong 3rd near the end of the
race when a pit stop problem caused him to fall back in the field. That is the famous race
where Donnie Allison leading "shut the door" on Cale Yarborough on the last lap,
taking them both out. Bobby Allison stopped at the accident scene and Cale went over and
hit Bobby in the face with his helmet. Bobby had slowed up on the track a lap earlier and
Cale felt Bobby intended to block for Donnie, so he could win. Bobby saw blood from the
impact of the helmet and went after Cale. As Bobby tells it, "Cale kept hitting my
fist with his nose." The King went on to win the race. I believe Tighe still has his
Grand national car in his garage. Tighe and his entire family are real "good
people". Thanks, Russ Dodge |

Thanks Tom - I had accidentally deleted the info that
was supplied with the picture so I was hoping the provider of the photo would get back to
me. |

Oddly enough, I just saw a NASCAR Classics
repeat on an all-sports channel (TSN) in Canada...1982 Daytona 500, and Tighe Scott hit
the wall with his #30 car and was knocked unconscious...compared to today, was the
emergency response ever slow! Jim Butticci Toronto |

That car was on display at the Allentown
PA museum of transportation last year. They change the display on a schedule
and for a while there were hundreds of race cars from all venues. A great
event. Many Dorney Park cars, as well as Indy cars, and sprints, midgets,
and modifieds. I'm looking forward to the return of the racing exhibit. It's
a first class facility and worth the travel to visit. |
