That it was, very. I wish I could answer that one. Time moves on, people change, etc. I dunno...just remember how it used to be and I miss it.

FYI, that's the ex-Wally Booth Rat Pack 1 Camaro above.

Coolest thing about most of these stories are that the runner-up gets almost as much ink as the winners.

Pete, Thanks for sharing these! Started going to Raceway Park about this time...
I was a "green" kid out of high school...remember a LOT of these cars...

How about a weekly program featuring ALL Categories...try doing that TODAY at
your local track? Very competitive racing...even if a few tenth's off the National
Standards in some cases...


That clean '57 Chev wagon of Ed Franks was later run by Claude Urevig...and
called the "Tape Peddler" I believe...You might remember him after that with a
wheel-standing '71 Chevelle 454 Conv. in SS/EA......

Was Len Mayersohn.....Norm's brother?

Lakewood must have made a killing selling "slapper" bars and scattershields!

How about the guy with Crane rockers on one side and Mr. Gaskets on the
other?......Fun times!!

Nice One Pete,

Bill Casey and his 57 Chevy 'E/G' were at Dover Drag Strip a lot.

He was a 'regular'.

301 Cubic Inches, and 9000 RPM launches.

All '4' wheels hopped off the ground when he launched. Incredible
suspension.

It's my pleasure. I was still in high school at the time.

Oh yeah, I seen Claude Urevig racing the ex-Briggs Chevrolet, ex-Ray Allen driven 454 LS-6 convertible 1970 Chevelle SS many times.

Was Len Mayersohn.....Norm's brother?

Yep.

I forgot who that was. Fun times indeed!

You're welcome, Bob. I didn't know you were from North Brunswick.

Don't say "getting old", say "getting better!"
