Made the trip to Latimore Valley Fairgrounds Saturday and took more than 200 Photos of the cars on the track and in the museum. Weather was perfect and I had a blast. Here is the first batch I've had time to upload.

Caution! Some cars have wings.

Great pix!! A couple of these cars look familiar. Each February in Zephyrhills, Florida a group of old timers bring everything from old champ cars to midgets to stock cars to jalopies to show and run on a dirt track hacked out of a field as part of a car parts/flea market operation. I grew up watching midgets and sprint cars with the drivers head and shoulders a couple of feet above the roll bar. Dangerous profession back then. Just a lap belt, tee shirts, minimal head protection, bare hands, whatever shoes they wore to work. Seems like we would read of a driver being killed or maimed for life every weekend. Sure glad they have the protection available now. :thumb

Good stuff! Thanks for posting them.:thumb

Great pictures,:thumb I especially liked the early top wing on the silver u9 sprinter and the gold #9 with a riding mechanic. Good stuff.

great photos

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I also have a bunch to upload from the EMMR museum, but that will have to wait till I get back from Sandusky.

Thanks davidm for posting your awesome photos. Brings back great racing memories from a "few years back."

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