Show me vintage photos from Empire Dragway in Leicester NY!

Looking for vintage photos from 50's and 60's of Empire Dragway (also called New York International Raceway) in Leicester NY. It's the strip that I grew up near. And before anyone says it, I'm not sure when the track opened. So there may not be any photos from that far back. But I know it was there in the early 70's. Thanks.

 

Hello Ray!

I don't have any old photos (wish I did) but I race there often.

The track is still going fairly well.

 

we used to go there during the 70's and drag anything we could....man, those were the days.

 

i can remember it being called "Dragway 36"....at some point in time.

 

It's still called Empire Dragway. It's in my hometown. I'd love to see some pics from back in the day.

On a Facebook group page I created, I have posted several "U.S.Open" @ Empire I've been able to dig up over the years; just go to: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=oa.226850360720108&type=1 OR the main page: http://www.facebook.com/groups/EmpireDragHistory/photos/

I am also looking/requesting for any and all pics of the facility for any year no matter what the track was called at the time of the [email protected]
