History PHOTOS FROM LATE 60'S NUMEDIA RACEWAY IN CENTRAL PA

The Henry J called "Wild Cherry" is owned by Charlie Kohler. He still has to this day. I have never personally seen the car but my dad used to tow it to Green Pine and Numedia with his 65 Falcon Ranchero (the front fender of the Ranchero can be seen in a later photo behind "Hemi Honker". Then my dad would race the Ranchero down the 1/8th mile track. My dad's name is Bob Rhinehart. If anyone can find a picture of his 65 Ranchero, I'd appreciate if you could share it. I only ever saw 1 picture of it. It was Black with White in between the moldings and White roof with Red interior. It had a 289 with a 4 speed.

 

The front fender of the Black 65 Falcon behind the "Hemi Honker" is that of my dad's Ranchero which he used to tow the Henry J called "Wild Cherry" which is shown in earlier pictures. My dad's name is Bob Rhinehart. He used to unhook the Henry J then go race the Ranchero down the 1/8th mile at Green Pine.

 

Pennsylvania 1960!

 

Cool pictures, I need to get to Numidia. Friends of mine go there all the time. We always went to Maple Grove. Now that I am only 30 mins. away I may have to venture over there.
