Another defunct Southern Tier track was Glen Aubrey Raceway which was located north of Endicott on Route 26. It closed after the ’67 season. Check out their special attraction from opening day 1962: “Lady Rhoda X-ray vision girl will drive blindfolded”…
Al Wilcox from Trackside Products/Penn Can lent me some old pictorials.."Cavalcade of Auto Racing" from 1961 and 1966...I'm going to try to get as many as I can on here and on "oldies but goodies"...here goes. First up...Larry Catlin in the #88 circa 1965
Herbie Green- Modern Champion at Chemung circa 1965
Art "Chubby" Chandler- Modified Champion at Chemung circa 1965
"Big Bad" Bob Frisbie at Chemung circa 1965
Jackie Soper at Chemung circa 1965
Frank Chapman at Chemung circa 1965
Al Dillon trophies Al Baldwin at Chemung circa 1965
Dick Reagan-most improved driver at Chemung circa 1965...from what I've seen in the past I'm guessing these photos were all by L.O. Duncan....someone correct me if I'm wrong...more to come
Candy Dolin mentioned Nolan Swift in the "Ten Pins" car...here he is at Thompson Speedway with the Atlantic Auto Racing Association circa 1964
Another shot of Nolan Swift from Oswego
here's the cover of a VFW Speedway program that I have.
Also someone mentioned the Le'mans start. I'm not sure if that's what they are setting up to do in this photo but it's possible. I've never had anyone definatively tell me what track this was shot at. There's no photo credit on it's reverse. Although they say the flagman is stocky like Al Dillon so it could be Chemung although the track looks too big to me! DALE
That's Harry Benjamin in the 184B on the cover of the VFW program, posing with flagman Bernie Foster.
I'm going to post a group of pictures from the 1966 edition of "Cavalcade of Auto Racing"...these were taken at Penn Can Speedway in 1965...Enjoy!
First up...Ron Board in the #25
