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?

Hey Rick,

Looks like it could be '69:

Your quick on the draw, Darren!

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?

Yeah. They are fairly simply to write. Just "CTRL C" and then "CTRL V" and it done like magic.

Great find, Rick! The picture is actually on the notoriously potholed

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.
