The old Flemington Speedway is now a parking lot awaiting the building of a Walmart and Leowes. Just what we needed in town 4 miles from the other Walmart and 1 mile from the nearest Home Depot.

I'm glad they put something over the carb to keep debris out.

kind of appropriate that these dying cars are next to a cemetary.

[b] Update on rotting Cobra - it has been liberated!

No brake pedal - no clutch pedal - no fluids on floor or under car.

New battery but no power to anything.



Getting under the car found the gas line comes out of tank - loops around then follows exhaust to engine.

The frame and suspension look fine - untouched for many years. The frame rails are BIG!

Some of the ducting for the brakes is still intact -

The thing that is the oddest to me is the angle of the drive shaft?? I would think this would cause quite a vibration at speed. Is this really supposed to look like this?

I lived in Flemington in the early 70's for 2 years, that track was insane! I went to school with one of the Kuhn kids (family name who owned the track), that track for years was an important part of that community. We would take our AFX cars and hot knife(modify) the crap out of them and then paint them to look like the stock cars that ran at flemington, mostly old 40 Ford coupes and AMC Gremlin bodies. You would go home covered in a dust of clay, I was 11 years old, it was great.

I dont know what kind of muscle is under this hood but it looked pretty cool with fresh primer when it was parked over ten years ago. Check the running rust on driveway under drivers door. Someone MUST be adding air to these tires.

Here's one that I recently saved and it has since found a new home in upstate NY - originally a 383 auto w/ ramcharger hood
