dstrohl, many thanks for posting this! When I was a kid in the 60's my father used to drag us to Reading for the stock car races, even though we lived up near Schenectady NY. It was a long long drive! We used to travel all over the Northeast for dirt racing! Too bad that the Reading track was paved over for a shopping mall of all things.

Same thing happened to the paved 1-mile racetrack at Langhorne PA in the early 70's...to make way for a damn shopping mall....such a crying shame!

Glad to see that there are other dirt track nutz here in the CR4 Forum! I thought that I was all alone here in the Forum for my love of dirt racing!!!!!

I still go to (and follow) dirt track racing here in upstate NY....mainly go to Lebanon Valley Speedway, Fonda Speedway, Orange County Speedway, and tiny Accord Speedway across the Hudson River from Poughkeepsie.

I'm a huge fan of Big Block Modified driver Kenny Tremont (car #115), who's home track is Lebanon Valley located about 20 miles east of Albany.

BTW, I REMEMBER WATCHING TOBY TOBIAS RACE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS! Now I dated myself!!! LOL

Signed,

Former pit crew member for the late great big block modified driver Harry Peek, hailing from Rotterdam NY, who drove the #27 at his hometown track Fonda Speedway and elsewhere. Harry was one of my dad's friends since the mid-60's when he started driving...also one of his sponsors and was one of the pit crew until the early 70's....that's when I stepped up to bat and joined the crew. May he Rest In Peace. He was induced into the DIRT Hall of Fame several years ago, in case you didn't know.

Keep 'em coming dstrohl!
