Guys, I have a ton of these pics, hope you enjoy them.
I'll post more as time allows.
Here is the ribbon - cutting in 1964, and the original track crew from the same year:

56 Royal Lancer · 03-03-2009, 12:31 PM

These were all taken by a man named Chance Brockway that lived in the area

56 Royal Lancer · 03-03-2009, 12:35 PM

Nice pictures, does the front axle under the T scare anyone else?

56 Royal Lancer · 03-03-2009, 12:42 PM

Last one for now, I'll post more later

ChevyGirlRox · 03-03-2009, 01:53 PM

Thanks for sharing! That place will always be the 'big' track in my mind. I grew up going there to watch the big guys run.

56 Royal Lancer · 03-03-2009, 03:49 PM

This is the "Fourth Horseman" 'Vette owned by Clark Rader Jr, the man whose family built National Trail Raceway. Clark was the 'face" of the track for years, a great guy and really colorful.
And yes, that is Linda Vaughn.

FalconEddie1964 · 03-03-2009, 04:05 PM

Really cool pictures. Hope you can post some more.

ZomBrian · 03-03-2009, 04:11 PM

Fantasmic! Consider me subscribed to this one!

Experimentation was the rule not the exception.
Todays drag cars are faster and safer but they all look the same in many ways.
Those cars were built not unlike our hotrods...inspiration and perspiration
not 1-800 send me the part.

56 Royal Lancer · 03-03-2009, 05:44 PM

I'll post some more tomorrow during the day. Some will be slightly "o/t" but nothing newer than '73 or there abouts.

**Porter Man** · 03-03-2009, 06:00 PM

Cool Stuff! Thanks for showing them.

56 Royal Lancer · 03-04-2009, 12:54 PM

OK, back for Day 2.
The Motown Missle may be a bit o/t, but I figured it was such an influential car that I'd post it.

56 Royal Lancer · 03-04-2009, 12:58 PM

Gotta dig the driver hanging onto the car w/ his left hand...

56 Royal Lancer · 03-04-2009, 01:06 PM

Not sure who's cars these are

grits · 03-04-2009, 01:16 PM

Hey thanks man, those are really cool, got any more, more, more

56 Royal Lancer · 03-04-2009, 01:45 PM

More you say?
The Funnies are a little "O/T", but I think it is a great shot. I'm pretty sure that is Jeg Coughlin Sr in the Camaro
