Thanks Bruce.

Hi Lynn...yes sir.



Camera was a gift from my dad. I still have it...and all the lenses, too! I also have his SRT102 as well-and all of his lenses.



With the invention of digital cameras-they are pretty much useless now....

Way cool, Bruce! Can smell the octane, rubber & concessions!! Cool Type LT/RS (and other stuff!).

Here are a few more from May 1980...






A Chevy wagon from Glendale, AZ. Who would have known that all these years later-I would be 3 miles from Glendale, AZ. I like that you can see down the track and the two cars still racing on the track!

Mike Greenawalt (AZCamaros on here) posted on Facebook where I also shared these pics...


Bruce this wagon belonged to Lester Goff, a local racer who was a character and well known. Lester passed several years ago but his family still has the wagon and they will be getting it back on the track soon. There are pictures of that car in its current state on Speeworld Memories FB page.

Thanks Mike, too cool!!
