Oct 2 - I have updated the archives for September, 2012. Some controversy has reared its head concerning the last blog, on the three window coupe that ran at Fonda in the 1960's. I had originally gotten information from one guy in the Johnstown/Gloversville area and - recently - I have had some very compelling and contradictory materials from another guy from the same time and area. Below are all the cars that might possibly be in the subject. It is up to those who know best [not me] which ones are later or earlier versions of each other.

Oct 6 - I have added the Weekly Blog, October 8, 2012, on the Glens Falls racing community of the 1950's and 60's. I don't know why I chose Oct 8. Go figger.

Oct 8 - I put some more photos on the Great Old Photos page, one of my favorites.

Oct 14 - I have added the Weekly Blog, October 14, 2012, on the great flag man, Chet Hames. I am again struggling with the photos, as has been the case with several of the recent blogs/columns. Bear with me.

Oct 19 - I made some repairs to the T-800 page and I noticed it did not have a link on the All - Links page. I found a neat photo that Dan Kearney sent me of the late CJ Richards, with John Casey and Jean - Paul Cabana. Some fairly significant figures in Vermont racing history here. I have so many images I am trying to work with, things get "lost in the shuffle". I may have this somewhere already - thanks Dan. I've made a couple of additions to the Me and ... page, which I get a kick out of if no one else does.

In case you are not from our region - that is Richards at left, with Casey and Cabana [right]

Oct 29 - Because of several issues, not the least of which is Hurricane Sandy, I won't be able to get a weekly blog up this week. If anyone knows how things turned out for Norm Andrews, I'd appreciate an email to wladabou@comcast.net provided we have any service.
