    i would even go so far as to say before that when the first circle track guys and salt flat racers started the racing thing off, and you could even say when the moonshine runners started to make their cars fast to outrun the popo, thats how nascar was started

    True, I watched a show on the history channel a while back about it and where the term "muscle car" came from. Its roots where back in the 40's I believe, but it wasn't until the 50's the factories acknowledged the term.

    It was talking about how the runners would swap bigger engines into thier cars in the 40's to make them faster. Pretty neat stuff, but I am a history buff.
