This was the research room when I visited the EMMR a few years ago.

Dave - Yes, it was a 1/2 mile dirt track. This race was just 75 laps, instead of the usual 100 laps that most of the other races were.
Frank - I modified my last post to add tracks. ----There were 4 races in 1960, all won by Jim Reed(Wall Stadium, Toronto CEN, Montreal, and Old Bridge). There were at least 10 races in 1961, and at least 4 races in 1962. The 1961 winners were: Jim Reed(3)(Vineland, Old Bridge, and Reading), Reds Kagle(Manassas), Emanuel Zervakis(Moyock), Richard Petty(Lincoln), Bill Morgan(2)(Marlboro, Richmond-SS), Bob Duell(Rochester), and Buck Baker(Sumter). The 1962 winners were: Jim Reed(Manassas), Bill Morgan(Williams Grove), Jim Paschal(Lincoln), and Elmo Langley(Lincoln). ....Jack
Frank, From what I could find when I was researching the Nascar Eastern Late Model Series for Racing Through History the series started in 1960, and ended in 1962. There were 4 races in 1960, all won by Jim Reed. There were at least 10 races in 1961, and at least 4 races in 1962. The 1961 winners were: Jim Reed(3), Reds Kagle, Emanuel Zervakis, Richard Petty, Bill Morgan(2), Bob Duell, and Buck Baker. The 1962 winners were: Jim Reed, Bill Morgan, Jim Paschal, and Elmo Langley. They raced on both dirt, and paved tracks 1/2 mile or smaller.
Hi Dave - We covered the Nascar Eastern Late Model Division earlier this year here on Racing Through History. I have partial results from the 1961 Lincolnrace, and full results from the 62 race. I think the September 27th,1960 race won by Elmo Langley at Lincoln was a Penn-Mar sanctioned race.
There has to be a whole lot more to this story !!!!
