Old Oswego Drag Strip Footage and History
 

Last night on a local cable access station I watched a one hour program which was by and large the history of Oswego IL Drag Strip. Production was definitely amateur (to be expected on local cable access, I guess) but the vintage video footage and still photos were priceless - especially so for those of us who grew up in the area. Roughly half the program covered other, somewhat related drag racing topics, but it was still pretty cool. I'm working on getting further info on the program for anyone who might be interested.

What station & time was it on?

Re: Old Oswego Drag Strip Footage and History
 

Channel 17 at 9 pm. The station has no advance programming schedule that I know of - it is not listed in the regular TV Guide that comes in the Newspaper and the on-screen TV Guide only lists the programming as 'Cable Access' https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

That's why I always leave a Blank tape ready in the VTR. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

I have satellite tv so no chance of seeing it. If someone can make a spare copy, I would appreciate it.
