Was just kicked back on sofa and started thinking (man its dangerous for me) when the racing season opened on Easter Sunday I"m thinking Paragon raced in the afternoon and then everybody loaded up and headed south to Haubstadt. I"m not sure if I"m right or not but I think we ran twin 100 lappers sprints and stock cars. Man those were good times

I remember going to Hagerstown Raceway on Easter Sunday after church. They would have an Easter Egg hunt for us kids before the racing started.

Do you remember Smokey Stover, from Staunton, Va. 306 car (modified coupe) back in the early 60s? My first dirt track hero. He got badly hurt at Hagerstown, pretty much ended his career. He used to race at Eastside Speedway in Waynesboro, Va. & occasionally at Winchester...

Wasn’t it on Easter Sunday several years ago that Cliff Cockrum received a shattered pelvis socket in a spectacular crash at Paragon?

I don't remember how the whole thing started, but Cliff got launched and landed driver's side down on top of the rail with one of the railroad ties in the cockpit with him. Everything considered, he was lucky to have gotten out of that crash with no worse injuries than he received. |
