Where, when??? Guard rail looks like what Old Dominion had at one time. Please post info with the photos. Makes them so much more interesting, Andy.

Right again Dave Fulton. This is Old Dominion in 1975 the night before we lost Tiny. He left the track with a gallon of MommaGores chili under each arm. I went to work on Monday and Reds Kagle told me the bad newsat lunch time and I was quite shocked and disappointed. Roy was in Blue Burton's #33 and Ray was probably in Clayton Mitchel's car. Ray did not run at Old Dominionthat much but made all the big ones. I think Sonny Hutchins won that night.

Thank you, Mike. Your information about Tiny (unfortunately) makes this a really historic and classic photo - the last time Tiny was at a weekly track. What a huge difference it makes to have information with a photo. Thanks again.

The car the three drivers (Tiny Lund, Ray Hendrick, Roy Hendrick)are propped against at the Gore family's Old Dominion Speedway in Manassas, Virginiaon Saturday, August 16, 1975 IS the Jack Tant-Clayton Mitchell "Flying 11" Chevelle driven by Ray Hendrick, then age 46. This is during the time period the car was painted white with red letteringand sponsored by Thomas Brothers Country Hams. You can see the red #11 on the roof in the Old Dominion photo. Below is a David Allio photo of the exact same Ray Hendrick Tant-Mitchelle white "Flying 11" Chevelle exactly 1 month earlier on July 18, 1975 passing John A. Utsman enroute to a win at Kingsport, Tennessee. Thanks again, Mike.
