Check out this mid-70's photo of Dave Horsley
(right) and Bill New. And how can you not get a giggle out the Firebird bucket
hat and "first" Night Fire 500 t-shirt from 1972 worn by New,
while a younger Horsley sported a Property of Watergate Rugby Team t-shirt.
Now those were the days. Noted on the back of the black `n white print,
"Horsley defeated more Street competitors during a two event span than
any previous driver in the class". For those who competed in the 70's,
checks were dispersed in the bottom of the timing tower, followed by a
winner's picture of the trophy and payment. Today, Horsely works as a service
director for Edmark Chevrolet and competes at Firebird from time-to-time.
