Carl, I have a couple of pictures from opening day at Orlando in 1966 when the featured cars were Miss STP (Paula Murphy) and USA1 (Bruce Larson). I took my dad out with me. I will try and find them. .

Somewhere on Facebook a few months ago I saw a picture of the tower that used to be on the right side of the track. The person that had the picture stated that it had burned down and told what year that happened.
I remember the first time I was at OSW and met Carl. It was 1986 and Carl had recently taken over operation of the track after running the 2 tracks for Dick Moroso. WB and I went there with a car he had at the time and were late arriving as was WB's typical fashion. He pointed to the old wooden annoucer's stand that was next to the staging lanes on the tracks right side and told me "go up there and find Carl, tell him I'm here and ask if I can get a time run before eliminations start". I had never seen Carl before then, but felt like I knew him from all the stories WB had told. Hey Dan Moore, you're #1. ![]() RIP Mark Graham & WB Hutto

Yet another great dragstrip gone. And run by great people that knew what they were doing.
Sadly, these will never be replaced today. Thanks to all the Weisinger family for all you have done for sportsman drag racing and for the great times and priceless memories. FJ Smith ...and if its a Walmart, China strikes again! |

Orlando is the closest NHRA track to me, all the rest are now IHRA. It will really suck to get a grade point now. I will miss Orlando, It was a good place to race at.
