How cool to see all the pictures of Ohio. I miss the darn place, thanks Stiney for the shots and I used to hear the Sunday,Sunday,Sunday in New York for Englishtown Raceway Park..And I thought it was the only one who did that..

I drove up and down parts of the Joisey section when I was a young pup. Growing up in southern New York, I used to love the Sunday, Sunday, Sunday ads for National Speedway, in Islip, Long Island. Went there a number of times in the late 60's and early 70's. Raced in A Stock with my old 70 Nova SS big block, 4 speed in 72, 73 and 74.

I have driven stretches in PA too. My Dad lives on US 30 in Bedford PA. He used to own the Washington Coffee Shop in the middle of town on 30. After I retire (not too long now) we will make it a point to cruise some more of US 30. Thanks for getting this started George.

Jim, You are right, it was National Speedway and not E-town. I also raced National Speedway and Westhampton. I ran my 70 Duster 340 in B/S class. I have one picture of it at the track that a friend took. Ahhhh the good ol' days.

Phil that is too bad, the display is fantastic. Yes the missouri river flood last year would have surrounded that area. Maybe another time......

yesterday 30 was a nightmare... last day of RAGBRAI(registers annual bicycle ride across Iowa) ended in clinton.
all of the support vehicles came in on 30 and invaded the town... now we know how they feel when we show up LOL!!! at least we don't show up in team jerseys and bicycle shorts!!! Sean said that the riverfront was still packed last night when he got off work!!

I know a few folks that have done Ragbrai, they describe it as a week long party on two wheels.......
