I think this is at an old timers event and this is the restored J6; look at how low the trunk line is, that's the way I remember Marty cutting the body.

Three from Lancaster (NY) Speedway by Gordon Reinig.

Bobby Krull, late 1972 (after demolishing his Valiant).


Richie Evans (61) races Roger Treichler, 1972.


Linus (a.k.a. Liney) Faery spins his Series 70 Modified in Turn 1 in 1973.

 

Scott Carson- early 70's

 

I'm sure this photo of the J 6 was taken at the old Nazareth 1/2 mile dirt track which closed anumber of years ago. You can see the top of the 1960's era A&P store that was behind the backstretch in the later years of racing at this track.

 

So George, anymore great videos coming from you soon?

 

I don't know how soon, Rich. But I will be doing one on the 1969 Thompson 500 and also one on Bobby Holmberg, my driver from back in the good old days. Someday I'll get to work on a "non-Modified" video of the 1969 Bridgehampton Trans-Am and Can-Am races. I'll be pretty busy through the summer racing season, so probably nothing until the Fall.

 

Non Modified???????????????

Pete is now selling videos at Riverhead, racing and interviews. Pretty much what you see on his site but all condensed into scenes, really cool.

Has Pitbull Pitstop Stickers coming in also. Like this without the banner.

 

Three more Lancaster (NY) Speedway pics by Gordon Reinig.

Jean-Guy Chartrand races Gary Iulg, 1972. I am not sure why this was cropped in this manner -- this is the way I found it.


Wes Moody's coupe flies through the air and is on its way into the flagstand on Astro-Spiral Car Night, 1972.


Dutch Hoag drove Dave Nichol's full-body "Series 70" Camaro Modified at Lancaster on opening day, 1973.

Here's a rare shot of Richie Evans' still-new first Pinto spinning in Turn 1 in August.

 

No, go visit Pete on his website, he'll be back when he gets more photos together, His computor crashed and he lost his collection and then racing season started and he's doing his on line interviews and weekly races from Riverhead. His Site link is under his name. Pitstoppitbull.com.
