Great stories Dave, Thanks for posting them. I really enjoyed reading about the tracks rising up off the floor and doing good.

I knew she took a heck of a hit on that inside wall. I was shocked when I saw how hard and high that steering wheel came up in her face. She should be thankful she is a small person. That was scary to say the least.

Sounds like you had a great time Dave, You write so descriptive its like I was on the same road. Really enjoyed hearing about your trip. I also noticed how most of the remarkable ones involved food or a restaurant.lol...same as my trips....thanks.

Shouldnt need a ton of sponsors to "start and Park" and that pays 60K a race. Wanna make an offer Dave? I'll chip in a couple hundred......dollars, that is. lol

Frank, I had the pleasure of getting to know Gene Bergin very well after we both moved to Florida. I remember him telling me he started racing at Pine Bowl in 1956. Most folks dont know he was an all state football player and all state in baseball in Connecticut as well as a great race car driver. We lost Gene in March 2011 in Palm Coast, Fl. Here's a pic of him,myself and Ed Ortiz at the Modified Racers Re-union at New Smyrna Speedway a few years ago.

Frank, If you ran at Fonda I might have got to see you and might have even waved as you went by. lol....Did you ever get to run against Ed Ortiz or Billy Wimble? I see them all the time here in central Florida... Maybe you could come down to Florida for a few days in Feb. and take in a couple of the modified reunion races I get invited to., Lots of guys from your area are there.

Frank, I was up there in 1961 when Fulton opened but never knew about it until after I shipped out. Utica-Rome in Vernon and Fonda Speedway in Fonda was the only two tracks I got to run at. Went to Oswego one time and they wouldnt let me run for a safety issue on the car. I came to like that area very much. Did get to see a fantastic super modified race at Oswegp .

In my search of tracks and towns in New York I did come across Fultonville so that confirms that Dave is more well known than we thought, lol....
