    Would it not be cool if somehwere those races on wednesday night were on tape somewhere? I would love to have a copy of every one. I was a huge fan. I remember Wayne Adams calling his number and instead of saying the word then the number he would spell the letters, then say the number. I am Mr. Anonymous by the way, my name is Todd. Just recollecting my first time that I tuned in and seeing Ray Freeman win, somebody I seen race a Grundy where I went to see the races. I think Lee Schuler spun in the front stretch melee as well.

    This Camaro looks a lot like Wayne Kullman's 1st 42 car. Am I right?

    On the cover of the program

    WOW...I was going thru some books in the garage the other day when,suddenly a RACEWAY PARK program fell out into my lap and it had this very same picture on the cover. The program is from the year 1976, I froze for a second,then began to read it page by page like a little boy on Christmas day. A flood of memories came rushing back,the sights,the smells,the sounds,while sitting in the first turn grandstands all those years.My dad first toke me there as a kid.I am now 51 years old and got to take my kid to raceway before it closed.That souvenir program just 50 cents,but revisiting those great days....you guessed it ,PRICELESS !

    Didn't Kevin DeGraff also run a paint job like this? I remember his #72 Hobby Stock painted this way and I believe he had a Sportsman car painted blue and white but the only pictures I have of it have tape numbers on it.

    This is a small block car, put together because a lot of the bigger shows had the 8 pound per cubic inch rule

    This car was fast, but there was something strange looking about it. Was it another car they tried to fit a camaro body on?

    I think the number 6 is Bill Van Allen.

    The best full bodied stock ever built at Raceway. I believe it was Walt Mortenson at Sweat Mercury in Blue Island that built the car.Track champion and feature record holder at the time.
