Well the 91 is obviously Russ Urlin, but I don't remember that ride either. There were some pretty wild cars back then.

I think the 72 is Ron Tracey

In the last pic I see a car you haven't shown yet,
I think the 5 car is Billy Stephenson (Tim Horton's sponsored)?

Yup that's Stephenson. I think he was a Londoner. And yes, he did carry Timmy's as a sponsor at one point.

One car that seems to be missing from this batch is the Harvey's car of Dennis the Menace Robertson.

Videopress 150, July 1982 @ Delaware: (last photos added April 26)

More from the Sharpie91 album, and a continuation of the "guess who" game. These are some pics from July 11 1982 at Delaware. For today, we'll start with the starting grid.  ;D

Ah. Those were the days. The Super Lates were all mostly Camaros, the only thing that had a muffler was the pace car, and if there was a post-race pitside p**s-off, well....there were no stupid haulers getting in the way of the view!


Long time London campaigner




One of Barrie's finest?






You'll sometimes hear old timers talking about the string of christmas tree lights that went from the starter stand to the infield. Here you can see them. I can recall one instance of those lights getting taken out by a flipping race car.






Action shots tomorrow....if there's enough chatter!   ;)

Not impatient, just different group of viewers.

Is it just me or do the corners look more square back then?

I think it looked that way the first time they paved the track.

Its the same surface now as it is in these pics. Only difference is that the pit road entrance/exit runoffs make it look different.

It looks far better now with all the miscellaneous black lines of seam sealer  ;D
