Album #1 of old pictures......
 

I had several people email asking about these old pictures. Been collecting and taking pictures since I was old enough to go to the track. If you have any comments or info on these, please leave them under the picture, I appreciate it!

Good pictures, I think picture 22 045 is Indy SS final with Steve Bagwell and Bill Felker. On page 2 the picture of Nicopolis, he is running the chevelle of Jimmy Bridges. When CJ Rayburn got out of Pro Stock racing, he became a pretty good dirt track racers and chassis builder. Are you coming to BG this weekend for combo race? With gas prices up and my racing budget at the bottom of the barrel, I'm going to it instead of Northen Sports. Need to try a couple of new item on the car anyway. J. Gower stock 3058

Wade O.....

First of all.......... your car is immaculate!
I didn't know it was yours ... or..... I would have stopped by to say Hi at Indy.

Second..... that is a great picture of my father's camaro (sheehan bros) at Indy (against herbies hugger).

Quick story about that race........... My father holeshot'ed Barry Desalve in the Herbie's Hugger camaro that round. We were finishing class elims the next day (for some reason I can't remember why they ran next day). We were scheduled to run Ralph Fisher and his 69 camaro in the class final. We had Ralph covered by 2 tenths.
Barry Desalve's father (Herb) was so mad we beat his son, that he pulled his motor out of his car and put it into Ralphs car for the next day's final. My father again treed his opponent (ralph - with herb's motor) and had him until half track. To this day I can remember him looking over his shoulder for Ralph while he was "missing" high gear. Ralph nipped him at the finish line.

Thanks for the memories Wade-O!!!!!
