Thanks for the help Statsman.

It's cool to see old photos like that. I have slowly been building a collection again, and it's really cool to see all of the different cars throughout the year.
That Chevelle is definitely one of my favourites.

I've never noticed this thread before, but Statsman, do you have any more pics of Fred Bullen you could post?
He's my grandfather, and my parents lost almost every picture we had of his cars in a house fire shortly after he quit racing years ago.

I missed this post and I'm sorry to hear that about the loss of photos. I don't have many and most are not that good.

Here's something I just stumbled across in an old Wheelspin, a 50 lap win at Sunset 1971:


All the way from Pennsylvania, the shiny new Harold Smith built Chevelle ready for the 1972 season at Sunset


At Cayuga in the Harold Smith built Chevelle


Winning a close one at Sunset also in 1972

These pictures sure do bring back great memories.  I remember Ruttman showing up late at Delaware with that AVC Camaro...rolled it off the trailer, no practice time for setup, and as I recall he put it on the pole.
Also, love that pic of George Pringle's #28.  The P&D Supertest on the rear quarter was Tex Prospero (the "P") and Rocco DiCarlo (the "D").  Rocco of course went on to own Pinecrest Speedway until he sold it to developers in the mid-70's.

Showed these to Herb and Bill today and got a little history on that car, Herb said it's ironic that we came across that pic as it was "32" years ago Bill had that car, appearantly Don Biederman built that thing and Stu Hunter owned it, when Stu was killed Bill bought the car from Stu's wife.

You can do it like this.

see below when you start reply or start a new topic it says download image shack tool bar? click browse find the image then click host it and then it will upload to imageshack and choose the direct link code cut it by ctrl-c and then in your message on here you click on the image icon beside the youtube icon and it will do this

Code: [Select]
[img]here is where you paste the code from imageshack[/img] or you can have it hosted somewhere else and insert your code in between the image command.

Hope I didn't post it like a techy would.

A lot of the pitures are taken from books as one even shows thew page number.

I'm not sure how copyright works on old photos. Not sure if they become publick domain after so many years like music, books and movies do.


...
Can you please tell me how to UPLOAD pics to here "thanks".

sorry -my computer knowledge is not sofisticated enough to make a link but if you go to www.raceny.com and go to the discussion and toggle on "If you like old modifieds and have some time" topic, you'll be amazed. Click on the first post (where it says Archive through March 29) as there has a pissing contest lately re copyrights.

It sure takes you back to the daY....
I love seeing these old photo's as I am sure most do as well.
Lets see more photos like this..
How about guys like Andy Brown, Rich Grady, Ken Reimer, Ray Gullison, Terry Kitchen and so on for late model dudes...
How about guys like Chucky Booze, the Triechlers, The Evil 1 and so on in Modified Sportsman's.

Racing was so Popular back then.
I sure wish it was as big now as it was back then !!

Love those old pics! Thanks for resurrecting the thread. The Erb and the Turner pic are probably around my timeframe, (about 1980?) but pretty sure I was a mere toddler around the time of the rest of them.

And wow....Flamboro really has had a full grandstand.
