Read the first installment of some newly written speedway history. It is a first-hand account of racing at the freshly re-opened track that is rich in both detail and nostalgia.

Our thanks to mini stock driver Don Winchester for his skillfully written account from opening night in August, 1970!

Bob Perrin Jr. in the #22. Was this car the old #25 that Dan Brown drove? "The Pickle"? It certainly looks like it to me.

I love this picture! The racers start to arrive on a rainey Saturday afternoon. Buddy Martin had a fine and modern set-up: a racecar on a trailer and a matching purple pick-up. But check out John Guzzetta! Is he towing with a Sunbeam? The Renault racecar is strange enough, but he towed all the way from Key Largo. Ahhh, simpler times....

Dennis Butler recently contacted us on the guest book. Here is a look at his Renault from 11-13-71.

TQ's, early mini stocks and a look around the pits! Who can place the year? I estimate 1968 or so.
