    Don't know why there was just 1 page on the S/S Nats.Maybe deadlines.Think it took a little time for the realiization of how classic the race was.Pissing and moaning were heard about the unruly crowd but that was part of the fascination that this race did actually come off like gangbusters.Just wish I was there.

    Always liked the Seatons Shaker.Think Delmar bought the farm in a racing crash.Could be wrong.

    Good Joe Vanni column about Bill Rubin,South Glens Falls and Milton.
    Bill ran fairly often at SGF.He ran Northeast Speed in Schenectady.Think he bought it off Irv Grant who ran a dragster for awhile.
    I was there for the weekend and the racing was great.Joe Vanni turns out to be a pretty good shoe.SGF was pretty much a freewheeling outlaw track.

    Good show at the Falls.Lots of Hemi cars.Dime a dozen back then[​IMG].
    Pete Mosher was a character.Ran flathead Ford.He had a junkyard outside of Glens Falls.About every Saturday we were at his place scarfing parts.His "office"was a few miles away from the junkyard and after hearing 20 minutes of verbal abuse and cursing he would tell you where the car sat in the yard and go get it yourself.Completly different world now.

    IF you could just direct some of this energy out to the garage then we'd have something!

    Dave Strickler vs an A/G Chevelle.Neat stuff.
    The Gee T O deal was pretty cool.Must have been a Jim Wangners brainstorm.

    NYS Championships at Niagara
    Can't tell you how many times I heard the Sunday Sunday on WKBW out of Buffalo.WKBW was a superstation and when the sun was setting it would over power our local stations and every one listened.What a great time for radio and drag racing.Joey Reynolds,Dan Neverret,Jack Armstrong and all the DJ's were a blast to listen to.Niagara advertised a lot on KBW.I would wish I lived in the western part of the state instead of the east.
    Lots of killer cars at this meet.Man,good memories.
