If you expect vintage stock cars don't bother

jam | Georgia | 08/31/2007

(1 out of 5 stars)

"Save your money, if you expect a series on vintage stock car racing - you'll be disappointed! I thought devoting one-third of this six (6) DVD set to early Dodge and Chrysler commercials and dealer sales information was a waste of money. Only two (2) of the six DVD's are related to early NASCAR, and while the vintage drag racing footage is pretty cool - my recommendation is to stay away if you want vintage stock car racing from the fifties, sixites, and seventies era."
