We're racing through history!

Could someone tell me the boats that ran in 1980?

Thanks

Hi Richard,

Without pulling out ever 1980s race program, I couldn't tell you every boat that competed. But, with a General membership or greater, you can request the "Decade of the 80s" DVD which chronicles all every race. Thus, you could do your own research!

Out of 23 boats that tried to race in 1980, only eleven scored points during the season. Five either failed to start or finish, and seven failed to qualify.  The eleven that scored points were Atlas Van Lines (built in 1977), Budweiser (1980), Circus Circus (1979), Madison (1973), Squire Shop (1979), Tempus (1978), Kentuckiana Paving (1966), Campbell's Food Service (1967), Oh Boy! Oberto (1972), Budweiser (1972), and Savair's Probe (1960).  These boats are listed in the order they finished in national point.

Thank you very much.  I remember when Campbell's Food Service won in Tri Cities.  What I am doing is I am  having my Indy cars painted like the late 70's 80's boats.  I run iRacing online sim racing and want my cars painted like the boats I grew up watching.

 

Thanks Again

Rich
