Anyone who doesnt think God performs miracles anymore, needs to look at these photos and see the video.

 

You got way in the back of the drawer for those, didn't ya, Dog? Great stuff, and thanks.

 

Those are some fine old photos, I believe that is the first round track Henry J I have ever seen. I wish I had photos that went back to those days.

I am going to post some hobby-cadet class cars along with the latemodels along.

At Georgia International probably about '82-'85 or so.


Dixie Speedway probably about '80-'81.

 

These may be too new for this site but I was scanning some old photos I took at North Wilksboro and thought I would post. Man I sure miss tracks like N Wilksboro.

Here's a rather unique view, behind the pit road entrance flagman

 

Pne more and I'm through for the day.

The late Rob Moroso, I think this is his last race as he was killed in a street car wreck after the race.

 

Hey Dog427435, these are some real sharp race cars!!! Who drove them and where at?

 

i just wonder how good rob would have been? he seemed to have talent.of course REAL deep pockets didn't hurt.not knockin him,jus thinkin

 

In retrospect, I don't think Rob really had the kind of money we all thought he did. Sure, he had finances, but he also had talent. Above all this though, he had a hell of a lot of potential with his contacts! I really think he would have been in the middle of the hunt though had he never had that accident. Had he lived through that november and never took a drink that the rest of the 'politically correct world' could know about, everybody would still be alive and he, Robby, would have had wins in the double digits by now.

He just HAD to be in the drivers seat that night.

 

That #3 is Paul Goldsmith's Smokey Pontiac on the beach at Daytona. He started from the pole to win the final event on the sand!

















Herb Oldfield #38 and Billy Smith #28 in 1975 - These shots are from a collection of photo's of Albuquerque dirt track racing, Joe Sherwood put together to keep the memories alive for years to come.

 

That Deuce 3w in oval track form sure is eye candy for us hot rod/dirt track lovers!

 

Virtually stock bodied deuce, flathed, don't get much more nostalgic than that.
