Sox & Martin @ Aquasco 1971 [MEDIA]
It's been a few years since I talked to him but it didn't sound like he had plans to develop it. -Lee Atomic Radio www.atomicpinup.com
The Procopios owned the land, which totaled 188 acres. They sold it in 2003. I've talked to the current owner and he's a nice guy. That said,...
I'll be there. And sadly it may be the last one at Manassas. -Lee Atomic Radio www.atomicpinup.com

Looks like Richmond Dragway. -Lee Atomic Radio www.atomicpinup.com
Here's mine..... [IMG] Tube chassis with a heavily sprayed 502. -Lee Atomic Radio www.atomicpinup.com
I heard PID held a race inside of Three Rivers Stadium, but never saw pictures until now.......
Sadly, Tex was killed at that very track (Aquasco Speedway) a month or so after this photo was taken. -Lee Atomic Radio www.atomicpinup.com
Dave...the '33 you referenced seeing at York wouldn't be this one, would it? [img] I may be getting the crash mixed up with the Filthy Forty....
Still my favorite '33 Willys. Thanks for the photo Dave. BTW,didn't it crash in the early 70's? -Lee Atomic Radio www.atomicpinup.com
Aquasco closed in '78: http://www.atomicpinup.com/Aquasco_Speedway.html -Lee Atomic Radio www.atomicpinup.com
Looks like Aquasco. -Lee Atomic Radio www.atomicpinup.com
Leave it alone. -Lee Atomic Radio www.atomicpinup.com
My thoughts and prayers are with the Kowalski family.....sad news indeed. -Lee Atomic Radio www.atomicpinup.com
Gasser Girl....it was great seeing the Filthy Forty clone on the strip. Always enjoy seeing it at York 30, but watching it on the track was even...
For the third year in the row, the Gore's put on a great show....and luckily the rain stayed away. -Lee Atomic Radio www.atomicpinup.com
Don't know which I like better....the Willys or your garage. Nicely done. -Lee Atomic Radio www.atomicpinup.com
I have less than $4K in mine, including all the aluminum. The Super T-10, bellhousing adaptor, and clutch assembly added another $2K. Not bad...
Bunny is a class act. She was at Old Dominion Speedway's nostalgia drags yesterday, but I didn't get a chance to talk to her much. -Lee Atomic...
Take your time and run the nailhead....you won't be disappointed. I have a '62 401 in my '33 and it's a strong engine. <TABLE style="WIDTH:...
Any print on the Tex Randall crash @ Aquasco? (June 26, 1965). -Lee Atomic Radio www.atomicpinup.com
Check out the Old Dominion results....that had to have been one of Bunny Burkett's early victories. -Lee Atomic Radio www.atomicpinup.com
That shot was taken at Sumerduck, right? -Lee Atomic Radio www.atomicpinup.com
I'd been interested in seeing a scan of that piece on Tex's death (which was the last weekend in June, 1965) Thanks, -Lee Atomic Radio...
Tex was a standout among fuel racers on the east coast. Who knows what he would've achieved in the sport had he not died in '65. -Lee Atomic...
Another Eastern Drag News shot (from a '63 cover). Tex Randall at 75-80. At that time I believe he was running high 8's/low 9's [img] -Lee...
One of my favorite drag racing photos is this flag start @ Aquasco: [img] -Lee Atomic Radio www.atomicpinup.com
