Harmony Speedway in Harmony, NJ, a 5/8 mile dirt D-shaped oval. The year was 1964 and I was nine at the time. Have been going every since. Frankie Schneider was one of the Eastern modified drivers that ran there.

Winter 1949-1950. Not sure if it was Dec. or Jan. I was 3. AAA midgets indoors Chicago Int'l Amphitheatre. The only driver I remember for sure was Eddie Russo, a Marine Corp buddy of my dad from WW2. When Dad announced we were going to see some midget races, Mom thought we were going to a track meet for little people!
