LemansBlue9561, I sent you a PM. Thanks.

Our old speedway was closed years ago due to encrouching residential housing. But it took 20 yrs for them to open another track and they placed it next to the airport. No problems about noise there. We also have a smaller midtown airport that they are going to be running the first of a 5 year contract with the champs series cars as vancouver will be no longer running due to the venue being taken up for development for the 2010 winter games. Can't wait!!

I had asked Belair to post those so people could see what E-town looked like in '67 (when those were taken). That's when the pits were still on the right side of the track, mostly dirt, with a 2 lane road leading to staging.
Just a little nostalgia.

Thanks Bob.

By the way, anyone have a guess what kind of wheels are on Franco's '62? I can't tell if they're slots or if they have some meat to them???

--------First,,,,,Could it be that those are chrome plated steel slots that were somewhat popular in the day?
--------Second,,,,,They sure didnt waste any material building that trailer did they? The minimalist theory in action, I guess
--------Third,,,,,Really cool O9er!!!!!!!!!Bill S

Joe,
Yeah, the pick-up is neat, but look in the background..........there are 3 taillights per side on that '61, so it's an Impala. And the roofline says 2-dr sedan. A VERY rare model in '61.
