You should be able to scan just the image and not the whole page...it's a pain with some scanners though.

My wife scanned the first one and it worked, I did the rest, that's why the whole page is coming through. I don't have a clue ....

One of us needs to post the pix we took of Oswego recently.

Steven, your first camaro looks a whole lot like my first camaro! Too bad mine wasn't an L78...

[Mr70]

That Telephone pole w/anchor support behind the Draggin Deuce is literally the only identifying landmark still there.
Otherwise you'd barely know it was the same place today.
It's a Tree Nursery,so Trees are everywhere.

Bill P. CALL THAT CABLE STATION!

[hvychev]

Isn't the AHRA stamp still on the ground? I recall seeing your pictures of that.

[Mr70]

No,thats at US30 in Indiana.
Oswego only has slight areas of Yellow boundary lines that outlined the lanes back then.Barely visible.

[Chevy454]

Yep, you're thinking of US30...

I have no clue how to call the station...don't even know what station it is. The guy who tipped me off to the program initially is getting me a copy of the show. Don't know (and really don't care!) if it will be on VHS or DVD, but don't worry, I will keep everyone posted here. On the show, they alluded that there may be a 'Part 2' coming. I hope it has some later footage from the 60's or 70's.

Bill just tell us when to come over and we will bring the refreshments.
