Vintage shots from days gone by!

^ Narrow slicks, chute pack FED injected, hairpins, and check out the Ford wagon in the background. Perfect.

You'll get no argument out of me. I'm working from an ever fading memory also. At that point in time I didn't pay that much attention to who was running USAC and Pancho was just another kid from the quarter midget days who able to continue racing.

This retired machinist thinks it's very cool.

 

I raced there several times nearly 30 years ago, good clay and a great track !

 

Marty, went to Cottage Grove to watch the World of Outlaws sprinters run some years ago.
They got a handful of laps in when that whole side of town lost power, sat there for 45 minutes waiting for the power to come back on, it never did.
Raced our shifterkarts through the streets there one year too.

 

Just liked Junior!

 

Didn't have any info on what city it was.

 

Maybe,like a typical cat, it was the lion's idea 1st & he hopped in while it was idle, went for a ride & liked it

 

Weatherford, Texas, the gas station owned by my Great Aunt, Ella Curtis and her husband 'Hance' Davis. Not sure whatever happened to Hance, but my Aunt moved back to Custer City, OK and lived out her days at the edge of town next to wheat fields, as far as the eye could see.= larry curtis
