Great stuff! If you are ever in the NE check out the PRONYNE Museum which has a huge collection of circle track memorabilia. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzLR42 ... sp=sharing

These priceless papers arrived here today.

Just reading through the first one was just FUN. The writers spare no one when they give a bad race report on a bad promotion or driver "etiqutte".

Rusty, thank you for this paper time machine.

I'll try and publish some of the pages/photos as soon as I can.
