    My Dad got what he called "reconstituted oil" in glass bottles I believe he got it at Sears. He put it in his !40 Plymouth. (the car he taught me to drive in)

    Folks, really need your help......the large wall in background is entrance to former Augusta International Speedway in Augusta, Georgia. This photo is taken from inside the track.

    On top of wall, large concrete letters stated : Augusta International Speedway - Where The Masters Race. Our non profit desperately needs a photograph taken from outside of track.

    Any help appreciated.

    Yes, sixty years later they are still with us.

    Our non profit will place three of these letters (AIS - to represent Augusta International Speedway) at the Rex White Motorsports Memorial Plaza - Home To 5Wkids Outdoor Learning Area, at the former Augusta International Speedway road circuit (Raceway) that is still in place and being developed into Diamond Lakes Regional Park.

    After years of searching, it is amazing that a photograph has not surfaced. Thanks

    Altoona Borad Track - 1967 - turns 1 & 2 still viewable. Apologize this photo not 1965 or before.

    When I started at the Sears Auto Center gas island we had the bottled oil. They weren’t “reconstituted” oil but the same Allstate oil out of the lubrication racks air fed pump from the drums that was sold in the center in 10 qt and single qt cans.
