how depressing..... Little Valley & Englishtown not racing. Cutbacks at Spencer, Chemung & Holland. All tracks I have been to in the past. Looks like there will be more travelling in my future!

Racing Discussion / R.I.P. Louie Lynch, a real racer

« on: June 16, 2014, 10:08:26 PM »

Our dad, Louie Lynch, passed away this morning after a brief illness. We wanted to let our friends in the racing community know about his passing. Louie owned/crewed on cars in the very first days of Spencer Speedway. He was also involved with many other Rochester-area teams over the years, especially Lee Osborne, Mike Loescher, the Turner Brothers, Fred White, Dave Kulzer, the Kluth family, and most recently Kevin Miller. He packed a lot of racing into his 88 years! He’s the one that got us into racing. I still have a picture of myself at about 1 yrs old in a Monroe County Fair Speedway t-shirt! We will miss you Dad, and hope you catch up with all the great racers in the sky…

I will post a few photos as soon as I get them properly sized.

For Louie’s friends, here are the arrangement details:

Calling hours:
•   Christopher Mitchell Funeral Home
•   16650 W. Albion Rd.
•   Holley, NY 14470
•   Thursday 6/19 – 3-7 PM

Church service:
•   St. Mary’s RC Church
•   11 S. Main St.
•   Holley, NY 14470
•   Friday 6/20 9 AM

Thanks,
Terry & Steve Lynch

Racing Discussion / Maynard Troyer - 1963 Sarasota-Bradenton Speedway

« on: October 19, 2013, 10:35:40 PM »

I have been cleaning up my race program collection & wanted to share this one. It's a race program from Sarasota-Bradenton Speedway in Florida. Dated August 9, 1963. Maynard Troyer is featured on the cover after winning the 'early model' mid-season championship. He is listed as #69. It also lists Maynard in the Late Model class with a #90 Ford.

Racing Discussion / Kingsbridge Armory - Al Keller

« on: June 10, 2013, 10:44:15 PM »

I have a program in my collection from Kingsbridge Armory in Bronx NY from 1950. The 'Americas Speedways' books lists the track as a 1/5 mile indoor concrete oval. The program says it ran stock cars. The points leader at the time was Al Keller from Rochester NY. Anyone know any more information on this driver?
