Penn State Public TV has been working on a show for several years, Dirt Track Memories. http://wpsu.org/tv/programs/dirttrackmemories It will feature the Eastern Museum of Motor Racing at Latimore Valley and will be broadcast on WPSU-TV on Tuesday, the 8th at 8pm and Thursday, the 10th at 10pm. At the same time it can also be seen on the web at http://wpsu.org/live Should be cool. Will also be available to other PBS stations later, so it should get shown around the country.
Also features Bud Garvey and his racing museum and the Perigo family of racing. Should be a great show.

I caught the last 20 minutes, so I missed a lot of the vintage footage... but what I did see was pretty decent quality... hope they run it locally again.
