60'-70's Vintage Oval Track Modifieds

All photos by Gordon Reinig, from 1969 Lancaster (NY) Speedway programs.

 

Like most of the posters here. I think your photos are great. I also feel sorry for you that you naively posted them somewhere on the 'net without a watermark and that now you are an angry old man. It is sad and I pity you.
I took five minutes to visit the site and it took about 20seconds to figure out how to download the photos. It's a pain in the ****, but it's not difficult. You have found some of your work here, but although you feel that you have been wronged, you don't really know the who reposted your work without giving you credit.
You made a mistake and someone took advantage of it. Forgive yourself and stop trying to lay blame where it is convenient, but not necessarily accurate. You'll feel much better for it.

 

Thanks for the picture of the rear end of The Batmobile, Probably only seen by Garys compe***ion,

 

Haven't been through the whole thread yet, but haven't seen any pics of Jimmy Howard from right near here on the Hamilton Beach Strip

This is his 1968 super modified running big block mopar power

 

Those are great pictures, especially the one of Jim Reed and Fred Harbach

 

Can't believe this CARL72 guy is still crying about 'his' photos. You think he built or drove the cars or something. Without the car builders, drivers, crews and fans, he would be shooting mountains and trees. Get a life.

 

NOT ANOTHER WHINER About not getting his credits/I mean MONEY for pictures Bullfathers been posting. At least he's not selling them as his own on ebay or craigslist like the ones I posted here that were lifted by some thief. I've posted me and my father and my late uncles on this thread and the sprint and midget ones also, don't have the EGO about the credits just posted them for the people that enjoy re living the memories of the past today so if Bull father or anyone else wants to right click the shots I posted earlier for their own collections or to repost here or post somewhere else be my guest but If you sell any of the shots just send me a cut (LOL), If we could post 80's and 90's shots I could start posting again, for everyone to enjoy but til I come across any earlier shots in the 4 milk crate size boxes that i need to upload I'll just keep enjoying the pictures that are posted here credits or not, yours his or anyone else's, just get over it and let the great people here get back to enjoying this form of racing without the as the stomach turns soap opera you Egomaniacs created and have a GREAT WEEKEND......Rich

 

Denny ,do you have pictures of the Bandits that you could share?

 

I'm wonderin bout all these complainers, did the drivers or owners of these cars recieve money from the photographers? Why not just let us enjoy these great pics !

 

anyone know where to find bomber pics from freeport speedway 1970's & 1980's?

 

I know I'm a little late with this but the track in the third picture is Old Bridge in New Jersey

 

I don't know who took this photo. so knowing that, if you can still enjoy looking at it please do. If not, LOOK AWAY NOW!

Mom always said... if you can't play well with others, STAY OFF THE PLAYGROUND!!!




I believe this photo is Eastern Bandit, Denny Zimmerman

 

Zoera I wasnt crying about anything I think theres nothing wrong with posting the photos if you would have read the post you would not have said what you did.
If I had some photos to show they would be here whether someone liked it or not

 

Zoera, Carl was quoting Jhed when he posted and it was only the last line that should be attriubted to Carl.

 

Thinking of a word....., starts with a C, ....ends with an unty?

Great thread, cool pics of a great period in racing. But, as cool as the pics are, I doubt any fortunes will be lost if they are pirated.

 

All photos taken on Sept. 5, 1970, at Lancaster (NY) Speedway, by Gordon Reinig.

 

Dr.John,was the 05 owned by Don Whalen?And also,did Bernie drive the 66 before or after the 05? Looks to be the same car?Thanks.

 

All photos taken on Aug. 22, 1970, at Lancaster (NY) Speedway by Gordon Reinig. The color photo -- Don Diffendorf -- is from the cover.

 

Hi, I am not 100% certain, but, juding from the program caption, he was in the 66 first, then the 05.

 

Sege Fidanza, 1974 -- Fred Smith photos.

 

Top and middle pics are from the same issue of Gater Racing News. There were no Brewerton results in the issue, so I don't know if Richie won. (Before the Internet, that happened sometimes -- trade papers depended on the mail or hand-delivery and many times a track's results were not received by press time but the photos made it.)

Sorry if I inadvertently offended anyone, but I'm just sick 'n tired of all the 'my photos' thing. Maybe the photos should revert to the driver/owner after a certain amount of time. After all, it's the subject you're looking at, not the camera.

 

CARL72. Sorry, I agree with you. I just got sick of these whiners. Some of these photos I posted were purchased by me at the track where they were taken. I'm sure the photog made the money way back then when he sold them. Why then, would he now complain? I don't know who the photogs were, but I did pay for them.

 

Zoera everythings cool no problems.

These are just pictures no one is getting rich off them if they were selling them,damn these are the cars we grew up watching not the cookie cutter cars of today.If anyone wants to whine about them being posted send me your address and I will send you some cheese to go with you whine.

Carl
