The early to mid 70's was a very interesting time for us short track fans when it came to watching the the change over from a majority of coupe and sedan bodies to the newer style bodies (Gremlin, Pinto, Mustang, Falcon, Vega, etc.,.) For many it was a sad time, as for a lot of folks out there, the coupes and sedans will always be their favorites. For others, seeing the older body styles replaced with more modern bodies from mid/late 60's and early 70's production cars were welcomed as it created a whole new look for the modified and sportsman cars of the day. (I don't choose one over the other... I liked the coupes and sedans, but I also liked many of the new body styles.... but once the 80's hit, and sheet metal replaced real bodies, for me, the best days were over.... but that's a discussion for another time....) It seemed almost always that when a racing team made the change from campaigning a car with a coupe or sedan body, to a newer Gremlin or Falcon, etc., they never went back to campaigning a coupe or sedan again. The same can be said about quite a few drivers too..., that once they stepped away from the seat of a coupe or sedan, and found themself behind the wheel of a newer body styled racer, they never went back to a ride in a coupe of sedan... So, this weekend's "You can't go back... or can you???" trivia question is: Can you name a racing team, or a driver that made the move to a newer body style car (Gremlin, Pinto, Mustang, etc.,), but then "went back" to a coupe or a sedan AFTER the newer style bodied car? Let us know: - Coupe or Sedan Car #, Team or Driver:__________________
- What newer style body car and # they drove:_________
- What coupe or sedan # they drove AFTER:__________
Give this one some thought as I know there are a few examples out there, and I'm thinking you guys, as always, will come up with a few more! Remember: Let us know who drove/campaigned a coupe or sedan... then drove/campaigned a new body style car (Gremlin, Pinto, Mustang, etc.)... and then went back to driving, or campaigning a coupe or a sedan! Have fun with this one.... and thanks you in advance for any responses received. 3Wide
