That is a really good pic. My shop is just off to the left in the old original race shop, while Juniors (now Flossies) house is just to the right. Behind them in that field just across the creek is where they built the shop that Sterlin Marlin raced out of when Bill Elliott was racing out of my shop. I love to see the old photos, thanks for posting that !

Junior Johnson on the beach in 1956

... isn't there a picture 'somewhere' of Johnson's car, rolling down the beach, with Johnson himself, standing there, watching it roll-away, uninjured?

I know that isn't the photo you're thinking of but that's the only rolling car I have. But I'll look around for it!

... so that is a fairly famous picture, and you've seen it, too... or is it a fragmentazhun of my imaginazhun?

 

[jrose7004]

I don't know that I've ever seen it but it'll be fun to look for it!

Is the car stopped? It looks like it's still rolling.

Mark.

P.S. another thanks for the pics.

 

[jrose7004]

I think that it had stopped.
