Wow, Darren, where the heck did you get that poster? I bet the guy making the "History of Oswego, Part II" might like to have an image of that. I am printing it out and will show it to him on Saturday, if that's OK.

OK, here's the scoop....

The guy who produced the program (Jay Thompson) visited my house the other day and my wife bought all he had with him - 3 DVD's of the program. He sells them for $15, and I think he also has VHS tapes for $10. He can be contacted at [email protected] , and his phone number is 630.532.3770.

The program also has some vintage footage of the short-lived Seneca IL drag strip around 1957. There are also brief
interviews with 'Broadway Bob' Metzler from Great Lakes Dragway in Union Grove WI, and Chris Karamesines.

He is currently in the process of interviewing more people for a second episode, due to the overwhelming response he has had from the first one. He is looking for contact information for people who might have pictures, home movies, or significant information regarding racing action at Oswego, to be included in the upcoming episode.
