Hello IOW friends,

Most of these photos I am sure many have already seen a time or two.

A few photos of Oswego Speedway's long racing history.

Supermodified veterans, champions, legends, and friends from here and there at the Big "O."

Have a good day...see you at the races

62 Baldy Baker - Ohio & 86 Mike Johnson - Indiana


3 "The Stecks Buick" - I am not sure of the driver during the 1965 Oswego Classic - time trials listed the driver as AJ Wilmack, but the final results listed the driver as Paul Womack

Great stuff Rich. Thanks for posting. Nothing better than seeing the supers either old or new.

I grew up watching Mike Johnson and Buzz Gregory. Mike, I think, has never gotten his due. He was a great racer in what ever car he raced, sprints or midgets. I was 7 years old when I saw Buzz win the 1969 Little 500.
