Bahari Racing's Former Golden Era NASCAR Shop: Ahead of Its Time in 1989! (Michael Waltrip Pennzoil)

What happens here

Rambo recounts a humorous story involving Tommy Rigsbee, the Bahari Racing truck driver. While at a race in Wilkesboro, they planned to test at Road Atlanta. Rambo and Bob (a motor guy) were to take a flight, and Tommy was to leave the gate open after pulling out the S-10 truck. However, Tommy overslept and the truck was still there when Rambo and Bob arrived at the shop, causing them to be late for their flight.

Goal: Enjoy a personal anecdote from the race team's past.

What they say

Hide

rooms. They got the little window and looks like some holes were patched up where there had maybe had controls that went through it. Yeah, sure enough, that could have been. I don't know how many iterations this place went through between ' 89 and it's hard. It's hard to tell. It's definitely hard to tell. The doors definitely were not there. We didn't have big doors. They were just man doors. What funny seems to me like maybe that's it. There was a door. This is a door that we come through all the time. I don't know where it's going to take us. Like I told you, last time I was here at Kelvin, I got lost. Well, we ain't going there. This right here would make you feel like you're at home. Like I've been here. I know this. I remember the cars. I remember the people. Remember setup plate. I remember all that stuff right here. We really didn't mess in the motor room that much. They roll the motors out. We put them in in here. And but uh this right here is just like being here in ' 89. And really hasn't changed as far as the same feeling, the same space. You I don't know if I'm Yeah. I can see from the pictures it really even the stripe like it was just yellow stripe. Yeah. instead of blue. Everything looks kind of like That's vinyl, too. I wonder if the yellow's still under it. Yeah, see the wall down. It might still be yellow. It could be. What's up there? I have no idea. Now, I don't know if that's just open up there because he runs he runs these little cars. Hey, man. Hey, what's up above here? Above here? Yeah. What's up there? Uh, it's old offices and stuff. Just offices. Yeah. Okay. But see, this wasn't here. Well, use the offices anymore. It's just like storage space and stuff. Yeah. Okay. Just wondering. Yeah. Yeah. I don't remember this whole this whole building right here. This corner, this building right here. Um I don't remember it being here. It it was this was open. So, I think that they come in and built that because we had we had our cars lined up on this wall. Huh. And then on that wall and like I said, we had a surface plate right here.
