Pete, we don't get to see many photos og Roosevelt Field, Great finds.

Welcome Newbies, great additions to the best thread, IMHO on the HAMB.

 

Those were photos from the Alabama Fairgrounds in Birmingham. F97 was Red Farmer. There is one photo from Iron Bowl Speedway. It was a track built by my uncle, J. P. Rotton, outside of Birmingham. He later moved his racing to the Fairgrounds.

 

Just got a call from work, thank God UPS is going to be closed today!!!

more time to look at pictures! LOL

 

They certainly are acceptable.

THANKS .. Keep 'em coming PLEASE.

 

Alabama pops, now I got to see if their any Roosevelt Field shots lol

 

This pic from post #7738 is about 8-10 years old. That was at a NRVA race, but I'm not sure of the track.

The yellow #14 is Van Oakley. A '57 Chevy over a current late model chassis. Car was fast. I think a car dealer in Charlotte area has it for sale now.

The #15 was Van's brother, Perry. Perry isn't with us anymore. He passed on at a young age a couple of years ago. The car was a true old '55 Chevy on a '55 frame. He was fun to run with. Don't know where the car is now.

 

whats with the Officer? or is that Ranger Rick?

 

Okay did some researching only found these, believe the track was only used 2 years and for Vanderbilt.
