What Track is this?

Mopar Steve · 10-05-2009, 03:18 PM

I can imagine how the car drove, I have an '82 Horizon that was done by Herb McCandless. I also know the details on what Kevin's plans were for the car. I'm no stranger to the Mopar world.

I will say this, The Yellow car was parted out in New Jersey in the early 90's. I have pics of it then and believe the body to have been scrapped. There are more Carlton/Hodges cars than you think. There are also Clyde Hodges built cars that are quite similar to Carlton cars. I will not comment on the Colt.

YES I KNOW THIS TRACK WELL MY FAMILY & I RAN SANFORD FROM THE MID 50s TO THE LATE 70s. I DID EVERYTHING FROM CONSESSION STAND, TECH AND ANNOUNCE. I ALSO RACED THERE FROM 1967 TIL THE EARLY 80s. THE TRACK IS STILL THERE. SOME GUYS HAVE BEEN WORKING THERE LEVELING OUT THE PIT AREA, SAYING THEY WOULD LIKE TO GET IT BACK OPEN BUT THEY WILL NEED SOME HELP. I THINK THEY HAVE STOPPED WORKING ON IT FOR NOW. IN OUR SHOP WE HAVE A PICTURE OF THE SANFORD RACE TRACK THE SECOND WEEK IT OPENED, IT WAS A DIRT TRACK THEN. MAYBE I CAN GET HILLAREY TO PUT THE PICTURE ON HERE( I HAVE NEVER POSTED A PICTURE YET) . I THINK THE CAR IN THE PICTURE MAY BE
JAMES BULLOCK. IF YOU CAN SEE BILL GARRANGER CHEVROLETT ON THE SIDE OF THE CAR ANYWHERE THATS HIM.
