Southside Speedway still runs weekly races and probably hasn't changed too much since those early days; it's a great place to go and enjoy a night of racing. 2.

In practice run, Jimmy tore out the transmission. It was replaced, and then Joe Weatherly tried the car. The new tansmission went out again, all except the high gear. Pardue started the race 12th. Weatherly then borrowed Fred Harb's '61 Ford and finished "only" fourth with a transmission with all gear ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
