VINTAGE: David Strachan to run Darlington in his 1962 Nascar Ford Galaxie

Now in his 44th year of motorsport, David Strachan is once again behind the wheel.  After campaigning with his son, Malcolm, in Karting and GT sports cars for many years, seeing Malcolm secure many wins and four series championships titles, David has entered into vintage auto racing.

Having built a 1962 Ford Galaxie Stock Car, a replica of the famed Holman-Moody cars of the 60's to race primarily at Mosport, Strachan is venturing south for some super-speedway competition.

David Strachan's Galaxie is built to stringent  NASCAR specifications and will compete this Labour Day weekend at Darlington Raceway, in Darlington, South Carolina.  This historic track hosted the Southern 500 for decades and is one of the most famous, or infamous of all the superspeedways.  Strachan expects speeds upwards of 150 mph (245 km/h) on the banked 1-3/8 mile raceway.
