Mentioned this a number of Times….But making a special Post. Tons of photo coverage for all the sixties (As witnessed in ODF Galleries & Historica lPhoto disc) BUT …..BIG CHUNK MISSING of the 70’s …don’t know why …..not much at all as we progress in years up to closing…Hit the attics, closets,bbasements, old albums, grandma’s house ….AND as always DRAG TIMES for the 70’s .Old newspaper not like Eastern Drag News ‘booklet’ format….many just rotted away . I know they’re out there. Great documentation right down to results of all class & elim. winners in back pages with Correct Date.

I have a couple of pics that were given to me..I’ll scan them and post them eventually, But if you pay attention (and remember) most of what we have seen in photo’s is from the spectator side…I never brought a camera, just a tool box. I am sure that is the problem…The people playing the game didn’t have time to take pictures, not to mention, good pictures would have been another expensive hobby.

Hey Don, you would of loved it. When not working on cars, there
was a lot of horse shoe games, archery, golfing with always plenty of beer and Ripple and Boones Farm apple wine and some funny smelling cigs. 🙂
We even had a canoe with a 1/2 hp outboard motor floating in the brook. 🙂
