Gid Tanner and the Skillet Lickers, I should have writ.
Were’nt the early days of moonshine makin’ the beginning of what is now NASCAR? I seem to remember a movie about that. The good ole boys were always on the run from revenoors in souped up jalopies…or, maybe not.
Sounds like you’re thinking of the Dukes of Hazzard, ltfire
Actually, ITFIRE’s right; the 'shiners would haul their 'shine in souped-up cars made to out-run the “revenuers”, and translated their driving skills to racing on the oval track.
I believe a movie called “The Last American Hero” explains things some.
