Vintage Oswego Raceway sticker
 

Old Oswego Raceway sticker that was in with a bunch of car papers, along with a picture of a 67 Chevelle that was running there.
The license plate looks to be orange with black lettering. Anybody know what year Illinois plate that is?

Rick, orange = 1969. Great photo, my car was raced there back in the day. Still hoping I'll find photos of it some day. Maybe this year at Oswego Drag Days? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

Hey Rick,

Looks like it could be '69:

Thanks guys, it looks like `69 would be the right year then.

I'll have to put that one on the schedule. Thanks for the info.

Do you write their sales flyers? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Yeah. They are fairly simply to write. Just "CTRL C" and then "CTRL V" and it done like magic. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Great find, Rick! The picture is actually on the notoriously potholed https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/mad.gif return road in front of the timing tower. The 1969 IL plates are actually orange with dark blue lettering, the U of I colors....think it had something to do with some U of I milestone that year.
