NEWS & UPDATES

Latest Update
 

Oct 3 -  We lost four - time NASCAR National Sportsman Champion Rene Charland. Phil Bowler wrote some nice thoughts on Da Champ. Click Here to  read that.

Oct 9 -  I have a new Weekly Blog - October 9, 2013 - based on a column by Biggy Bigelow.

Oct 12 -  I have added shots to the Aerial Views page. This page is getting to be so huge it takes forever to save, but making a second page would be a lot of work. Hence, I just don't do it as often as I would like. This recent update is thanks, in large part to the "Jimmie's Old Time" site and to Bing images.

Oct 17 -  I have added shots to the Albany Saratoga Speedway page.

Oct 23 -  I have a new Weekly Blog - October 23, 2013- based on the 1955 Airborne Park Speedway points finish.

Oct 24 -  I have added shots to the Me and ... page. Indulge me - I know I am about the only one who cares about this page but I enjoy it. We lost the Rutland Rocket, Jerry King this week. My Pico Raceway page is only what it is because of the generosity of guys like Jerry. He was an important driver and owner at many tracks in the region. Note the photo below.

Jerry, in his "third career" as a driver and owner at Devil'S Bowl. In the '50's, he drove at Pico, Fairmont, Stateline, Mettawee, and Warrensburg, to name a few. Later, in the '60's, he owned a 1937 Ford which he and Ralph Palmer drove. This Bowl venture was in the early '70's. Thank God he lent me all his albums - everything burned up a few years afterward.

Oct 27 -  I have added shots to the Americans in Canada page.

Oct 29 -  I have created a new page called Race Tracks in the Buffalo / Ontario Region. I know it's a little out of my territory, but these were fascinating places.
