Johnny Rutherford once said when he looks at a map of the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex he sees a sprint car. Do you?

A spoof on the life of Emmett Hahn and how he raced his way into the heart of the love of his life...Fuzzy!
My great granddad raced here. Virgil Long drove #2 and owned Long's paint and body at sw29 and May
The Claimer Car races at Southern Ascot, perhaps the Summer of 1941. You could claim the full car for $100 after the race. This was the beginnings of low-cost auto racing on the west coast.
Ha, I always was told those highways were in the shape of a penis
I love this video but I think you would really enhance the enjoyment of it if you used some period-appropriate music.
AWESOME!! Thanks so much for posting such great footage!
What great footage! Thanks for posting this. :)
Is this Oklahoma City where a football field and track exist now?
Yes, the track was around the football field - a 1/4 mile oval.
As a small kid in the 60's/70's, my late father would take my brothers and I to watch sprint racing every Friday night. I don't remember a lot, but for some reason the following drivers: #77, Johnny Suggs and #9, Shady McWhorter. Great memories!!!!
Where was devil's bowl located exactly?
It was on Jim West Road, east of Buckner Blvd in northeast Dallas. I'm not sure if it was on the north or south side of Jim West. I drove down the street in 2019. It is mainly apartments now.
It was on John West Rd., north side and west of Buckner. Agree that there were apartments at the approximate location when i drove through several years ago Was close to a small airport/landing trip on south side of John West Rd. Noticed Sandra Carter name on this video. Probably related to Roy Carter I think he was promoter of races along with wrestling matches i Dallas.
There's still a devil's bowl in operation in mesquite. Near dallas
Great Video! Remember that place very well.
That old bridge in the background is still standing.
That rather large fellow towards the end was Billy Casper and the driver passionately kissing the trophy girl at 1:08 was Jim McElreath.
My dad raced there a few times in his white Idle Rich Special he built, it was number 24 and another race car yellow number 87 driven by George England, both were 55-57 bel air. (Imagine if they had LS swaps back then). I think this was the track a driver named shady eight was decapitated and referee was traumatized when he found his head in his helmet.This area was called devil's bowl before it was a racetrack before 1941, and the area was known for tragic accidents & deaths, does anyone know why this area had the name "devil's bowl"?
I knew the track was at Buckner and Jim West but never heard it called that before the track was there.
I had not heard that this area was known as devil. I'll ask some old timers who may know.
@@bartstevens3405 I am an old timer, but my memory is foggy, I remember reading a long time ago that it had the name of devil's bowl in the 1930's, long before it was a racetrack; it's a strange name to name a place.
That is at the old Devil's Bowl.
