Started out at the Johnstown, PA Speedway and Jennerstown (then dirt) around 1959. Remember the three 'big guns' as dad called em - Gerald Chamberlain, Johnnie Grum, and Blackie Watt in the modifieds (jalopies). Graduated to Port Royal early 60's - "super modifieds" morphing into sprinters as I grew up! How can you beat the weekly regulars - Mitch Smith in the Gary Wasson Special, Johnnie Grum in the Fletcher American 66, Pete Swarmer in his homemade super running against the "store-bought sprinters", Leroy Felty in the Velvet 7, Lynn Paxton and Bobby Allen in the Shorty Emerick Chevrolet #1 and 1A sprinters, Cowboy Jim Kennedy in the huge wing #7, Elmer Ruby in the #711, a young Keith Kaufman starting out, Smokey Snelbaker in the 880, and occasional visits in later years by Opperman and Kenny Weld. I could go on and on since the more I write the more memories keep popping up!
