Pictures got to be from Raceway Park in N.J. and Astoria Chas I believe was killed in Nam by friendly fire.

Re: Ko-Motion
 

Sam, Chas was killed by friendly fire. He let other soldiers get on the chopper before himself not thinking that his wound was that bad....sad for someone to die so young. Joel always said that "Charlie was a super nice kid."

I thought so Tim. Thanks and welcome! Sam

That doesn't look like E-town to me, with that dip mid-track. Also, there's no airplane hanger on the right side at the finish line. In those days the right side of the track was the pits, and I don't remember the trees being so close.
God, I love those pics though!!!!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Hey Vern, Isn't that E-Town where the car is parked along the fence and the guys are talking? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif I know it has to be around 1967 or so?

Re: Ko-Motion
 

I looked at them again Vern, maybe you are right. Because of the vastness of the area it looked like Raceway Park to me. Maybe it is Suffolk County or New York International. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Ko-Motion
 

The photo captions say it was New York National Speedway.

Re: Ko-Motion
 

Vern, You are right. Great old photos! Thanks for sharing.

Re: Ko-Motion
 

Thanks for clarifying TJ. I was pretty sure I remembered it right. I first went to E-town in late '66. This is off-topic, but I want to share it. I remember after it rained, they'd bring out a Piper Cub (tail dragger), rev it up, ride the brakes, then do "S" s up and down the track to blow the water off. I guess you could say it was the first drag strip drying machine..... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif
Wish I would taken a picture of it....

aahhhhhhhh, the memories...
