Old Bridge Speedway,NJ, Montgomery,NY, Vargo,PA, Strato Rods, NJ, Pocono Drag Lodge,PA, Flemington,NJ.....and my favorite York,PA ......I was not at everyone myself but did get to most of them. In the era of flat towing.....most of these places were long rides. Today it would be easy.....

I'm looking for pics from the 86' Grandnationals in Montreal? my dad runner-up in SS against a gut he raced everyweekend at home at our local track in Nova Scotia. He raced a 1980 Oldsmobile Starfire, same as a Chevy Monza. If someone could point me in the right direction to get photos or video it would be appreciated.

Old Bridge Stadium was the best,starting line was banked,hit the brakes hard or go over the wall....I think it was a 300' race,...I also remember Harmony..they had a paved drag strip for a year or two...we ran the Riley Bros. for Top Elim.....the spot was ,we were started about half way down the track in our flathead dragster...I turned 64 yesterday and that was a good 40 years ago...see ya'll at Cecil...still kickin..Duane

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
