I am trying to find the number on my Dad's car. His name was Ronnie Swann he raced at the Fairgrounds and Midfield. Anyway he was in the Cadet division at all places. My Mom said she thought it was 52 or 59 but shes not sure. My dad had bought the car from Judd Reeves at the time. If anyone has any idea what his number was feel free to call me. Mom said the car was Blue and gold Chevrolet. I am working om a special project in his memory and would love to know.
Just found this site through a friend on facebook! I have enjoyed seeing MANY old pics of my Dad, Judge McCluney; who was the flagman in Huntsville for so many years! Thanks for the memories!

Would love to find photos of Dewight or Earleen Self from Dixie Speedway in 1963-1965. Dewight died in 1965 and they held a memorial race for him every year until the track was torn down.
Just found this web site - it's awesome, so many memories. Thanks to everyone for posting the photos of so many great drivers. Just wondering if anyone has any photos of my Dad, Bobby Foster. He raced at Mobile, Five Flags, Laurel, Opp & Baton Rouge.
I am currently in the process of compiling a scrapbook of information and photos of the HELENA DRAG STRIP which was located in Helena, Alabama and operated by the "Strokers" car club of Birmingham, Alabama. I was a member in 1955- 1957. The club operated the strip when it was a dirt strip and later paved the strip until the club stopped its operations. It was later reopened in 1960 as I will show in the scrapbook. I am actively seeking any photos and/or information that anyone will donate to the cause. I certainly don't want the history and or the great memories that were inherent in the activities at this pioneer racing facility. Your help and participation is welcomed and encouraged. Thanks in advance. Bob Blain Contact Info: mailto:bobnora@bellsouth.net 205-567-6705

Hi all. I came across a VigorLube sign (metal) at a sale. It ,measures 15 3/4 long and 11 3/4 inches wide. It says "cut oil waste get more power with....Vigorlube" The sign is yellow on the top ( 5 1/4 inch wide) and bottom ( 1 1/4 inch) with white in the center 5 1/4 inch). The word 'Vigolube ' is written in red and red and black (in the white area), with the V being larger and colored black over red extending into the boyth yellow areas. The other letters ( igolube ) are red over black. Along the bottom (yellow part) , it says " complete satisfaction or your money back ! " . Can anyone tell me anything about this sign...? Thanks. Please email me at mailto:kgozer@aol.com.
Col T.M. Nesbit sponsored racing , in general, both drag racing and oval track, all through the 60's & 70's Vigor lube oil treatment( before any one had ever heard of STP) and 5 in 1 radiator additive ( before Bar's leak). He was truly a racing ambassador.
My name is Bob Gangwer and I run a website called Wing Side Up. I came across your photos while researching information about an upcoming episode of our internet show called Wailing with Wing Side Up. We are focusing on Southern Supermodified racing for the month of March I would enjoy speaking with you more about your photo collection. I can be reached at wingsideup at yahoo dot com. Awesome photos!
