Old tracks

Ed Fernandez · 08-18-2009, 08:35 PM

When I was stationed at Ft. Campbell Ky in 1964 I went to a track near there a few times.Anybody know the track and if it's still in use today?

Sounds like it could be the one.It's been a long time.Seems like in another lifetime.I'd sure like to travel down that way sometime.

While we're talking old tracks, Ed (not trying to hi-jack your thread).....Does anyone here remember old tracks at: 1. Charlestown, Rhode Island. 2. Orange, Massachusetts. 3. Sanford, Maine. These were all part of the New England Timing Association. (I believe.) Anyone?? Best wishes. WJ

Any photos from Raven Rock or Riverside dragstrips? Both were in Southern Ohio.

And then there was Windgap, Nazareth dirt, Hatfield, Reading dirt, Harmony dirt, Lancaster....all in Eastern Pa or NJ. Yes I go back that far.

I have some from Riverside, I will post them shortly. I could not get them to load today. I saw a 1967 Raven Rock class winner decal an a 55 Chevy at a car show in Huntington last month. NICE!!!

Hi all, new here but a frequent visitor.
Hope Im not hijacking the thread but Im looking for photos of Pa. strips dating back to the very early 60's; Lancaster, York, Vargo etc. These photos will be used in a future publication. If you can help out at all, Please PM me.
Thanks
Doug
