I think that is Nielsen in the Bob Shacht Camaro

The more I look at this picture, the more I miss this place. great picture. I think that is Chuck Acres in the yellow late model behind Middleton???

I believe that is Jim Hardin on the inside of Clark.
Is that Bond behind Gawlinski?
I can not figure out who is behind Lewis.
We kept waiting for the Christmas lights to come out that year. The good ol' days.

I'm pretty sure Weitemeyer was there that day, maybe he is behind Lewis. He had an all white front end by the end of the season. First Turn Gang should know everyone there that day. Go to the tape...

That's also Echlin's cambird followed by Teddy Moore and Jerry Lewis in the No.blue 3 on the outside row.

It was the end of the season. To be exact it was Nov 5th ot 6th, 1977, and it was 3-30 lap monzas. Pete was going to run 'til XMas that year, but the attendance fell off. Too bad, because it was some great late model racing. That day, Dennis Perezley won the 3rd feature. Bob Strait and Bobby Dotter are out there along with Bud Koehler in his last race.

Prime example of an early cattle catcher aero package. At Raceway, this innovation could best be called a "spin-out blade", as pushing the car ahead of you won races, not the ground force of an aero package as one thundered down 900 feet of straightaway.

It must have been the end of the season. Cars look pretty battered. Frank Gawlinski in the black number 3 Chevelle. I think this was the year before the infamous yellow 14 Camaro made its debut.

We are getting old. Now this young driving sensation is running with the old timers.

An executive roundtable meeting in the pits at Raceway.

Look how fresh the body looked. Ted's car usually showed alot of wear and tear. He may not have had the fastest car, but he was a tough competitor. He never let ANYONE by him without a fight.

Man he must not have been buying any of those chop shop bodies.

This was a beginning of an era. The combination of great car and great driver. Got sick of him winning at times during his career, but was sure on the best in the Chicagoland.

Ahhhh, Mount Jenin in the background. I saw many a 4x4 fall over the edge.

Wow, look at the people in the backstretch stands. It must have been the 4th of July. And yes I know the guy that was excited to see that spin.

there wasn't any race driver in this country that could compare with Bill He gave his all

Tony STUNK UP ANY PLACE HE WAS

This was his best ride.

A most forgotten star of the past and he was no pushover!

Looking at this picture I realize the wrong guy died first!
