Classic Dirt Photos

[Redclay Rebel]

I've been trying to figure out how to scan old film photos this afternoon. I don't know how they will show up, but here goes

Not that great, but better than I thought.

These photos are from sometime around 1984-85 I think.

Anyone care to guess what track this is in these 3 photos????

Is it in eastern NC?

[Redclay Rebel]

It was...Its been closed since at least 1989 or 1990

That ain't Wilson County is it?

RR- see if your scanning software has an option that will auto-select the content portion of the scan. That should get rid of all the extra white space. Thanks for sharing. I like to see all the old photos!

Daddy would have known it if he would have seen it. That's the track he swears "If you didn't have a gun when you went in, they'd give you one at the gate." He's told me many stories about nights up there with Bobby Summerlin in grandma's old Datsun racing with the four cylinders.
