The book covers approximately 48 tracks located in Western NY and Northwestern PA.   Beginning with those from the Chemung Speedrome east of Elmira, Wellsville Raceway, Angelica Raceway, Hunt Raceway, Olean Raceway and on to Stateline Speedway at Busti in the west with many in the greater Jamestown area and then north to Ransomville Speedway in Niagara county then south and east including Civic Stadium, Lancaster Speedway, Monroe County Fairgrounds, Naples Speedway and other tracks around the Finger Lakes ending at Ithaca/Dryden Raceway south of Ithaca in western NY.  The boundaries in NWPA go from Towanda VFW Fairgrounds on Rt. 6 in the east, Troy Fairgrounds then on to Skyline Raceway at Sugar Grove in the west and then south to Dicky-Ben Raceway at Warren then east to Brockway the home of Airport Speedway.  All the tracks that operated within these boundaries are included in the book for the two States at some time during the '50s.  A few of the tracks operated for a couple of months and others are still in operation.  Some have more extensive coverage than others naturally due to the information and photos that were available from those days. Within the pages you will find many photos pertaining to racing of that time including drivers along with many never before heard stories.

Ford chose to write this book as a legacy to those involved in stock car racing in the '50s.  This includes drivers, car owners, track owners, track personnel and especially the great fans of that era.  In all, 230 pages of many memories, stories and great photos are in this new book release.
