The roar of the engines is something else at Daytona. I miss visiting MK when there was the Richard Petty Speedway in the parking lot where guests can ride with drivers around the oval track. It closed shortly after the fatal accident. I could hear the roar of the cars very clearly when parking at MK.

I remembered when that oval track used to hold oval races for Indycar.

The Oval track held races from 1996 to 2000 for Indy Racing League. That track also the first Indy Racing League race ever and I also saw that race live on Television on January 27th, 1996.

I've seen Indycar races on tv and in person before 1996, but it was a different Indy racing series called CART.

Yep, no full service in our “hood” either…!!! ;)
The last time I even remember going to a full service gas station was in my childhood, of course, but, I’ve been pumping my own gas since I got my learners permit in ‘77.
Since most “motorists” apparently dressed like the below image back in the day, it’s no wonder they wanted nothing to do with any of the nasty automobile happenings outside of the passenger compartment…!!!!! :hilarious:

I can remember our 57 Dodge, we had those plastic seat covers (god awful) in summer you wound stick to them- in winter they were cold and stiff. No seat belts and a big rear shelf my brother and I would fight over to lay on.
No AC just vent widows and can't forget big tail fins images.jpeg

There should really a no acronym rule here. I mean, I get MK and AK but the others - like what the hell does GP mean in Disney speak?

Obviously, not general practitioner which would be my first guess.

Edit: I got my answer - genie plus and I only got it because they said sales right after.

I think there's a published acronym guide someplace.

Anyway, it's not just on this site. It's anyplace on the Disney-sphere of the internet. Doesn't make sense to just ban it here.

They also conveniently forgot to mention any of the nasty automobile happenings inside the passenger compartment as well... (i.e. clue, the little one in the back seat)

I often think about how nice it would have been if there had been a child protection agency at the time. Probably wouldn't have matter because they put the plastic on all the seats of every car we ever owned during my childhood so it didn't seem just directed at us kids.
