Re: Need Dale Earnhadt picture
do post the picture if you can find it.
the first time i saw Dale race was at Sears Point (currently known as Infineon Raceway) a couple years before his accident. Gordon won the race, but Dale was by far the fastest driver out there despite finishing about 9th. If not for some bad luck it should have been a podium finish for sure. I'm not kidding he raced every green flag lap as if it was his last, he was always charging. Coming down the back stretch thru the ess's they hit about 165-170mph, Dale would be 4 wheel drifting through every turn in the ess's whether he was 50 feet or 5 inches from whoever he was tailing. I can't imagine seeing him in your rear view mirror doing that at that speed, he was the Intimidator alright. It gave me goosebumps to watch it then and it gives me goosebumps now to think about how he drove a race car!
