Orange18 - send me a PM & I can get a copy for you.

early Monroe County Fairgrounds

steven - looks like we responded at the same time!

kt - we went the prior week to Brewerton (1st time wince the 60's when it was asphalt). I agree with your findings - great racing, lots of competitive cars, decent & fairly-priced concessions, nice lap counter, an announcer you can hear & understand. Even saw Rick Zacharias - his son Dylan runs a Sportsman. But the dust was a killer. I guess over the years I have become spoiled by the central PA tracks (Williams Grove, Selinsgrove, Lincoln, etc.). They know how to do it right with the track composition & preparation that usually remains tacks throughout the night.

Not a fan of 'dry slick' tracks, but love watching the action at most dirt tracks.

RIP Pete Hayes. Thanks for all the memories with those sharp yellow #17 Modifieds!

Dom Kreitz Sr also had a nice Valiant at Reading. I think one of the advantages of the Valiant like Bodine's was that it was a wide flat surface, creating a wing effect with the rake he used on the body. Kenny Brightbill came to Fulton on the dirt once with a Cadillac body that was pretty much pure aerodynamics. Someone also mentioned a Henry J - I remember a car that came to Spencer once in a while (Bob Burton??) - I think it was a regular at Shangri-La.

Tom - now that I 'blew up' the #55 photo, that does look like Sonny Barron!

Nice video - brings back some memories! For the unnumbered with Mod, maybe Neil Truesdell? The #7 Late Model - not sure - there used to be a Rod Norton with a car that looked something like that. Good stuff.
