The Spirit AAFD in Utica Rome pits our buddy Stosh Nicewicz looks on
Car qualified at Englishtown..drove 300 miles to utica Rome..ran a match race on Sat pm, went back to Englishtown and won the NHRA Summernationals. Who would attempt that nowadays?
Right ! This is a Carl Gross photo !!..now I remember being AT Englishtown and missing that eventat UR. I have a fantastic shot of Behling at Englishtown which I used in DRAG BEAT magazine..low rear angle shot I will try to find it...or YOU can. if you still have that issue.
Adn what a story ! someone racing in an NHRA national event who takes a side job during the race to run at a track 300 miles away the day prior to elims. How crazy..or ,..how confident !!!
Lynn, I would like your permission to post the photo below on my facebook page with credit to you for it and your story about Behling. I want to show my followers just how GREAT a view (AND SNIFF) we used to get at UTICA ROME of the baddest cars in the USA. I hope that every time the tale of UTica Rome is told, that Dick Waterman will get proper credit for bringing in the best shows that any little local eighth has ever seen...and he DID.
