As I stated in the lead-in to this project, my plan is to
build my version of a vintage late model stock car that would
have been seen on a dirt track in the late 1970's. Some of my
buddies at the time had cars that they ran at the 1/2 mile
dirt track in Nazareth, PA, in Middletown, NY at the Orange
County Fair Grounds, at Flemington, NJ and in Reading
(pronounced 'Redding'), PA; Jack Zeiner and his brother Tom,
both late model champions at Nazareth and the Metzger brothers,
Gary and Sterling (pugsly), although never won a championship,
were competitive and a track favorite.
Only one of these cars is a Dodge Dart and that is picture '4'.
Pictures 1, 2 and 3 are random photos found on the web. Photos
5 through 8 are from the
Nazareth Speedway Facebook Page.
The 1/2 mile dirt track is no longer in existence; what a
loss!
Photos 5 through 8 are cars and drivers from Nazareth, PA:
- The #8 of Jack Zeiner. One of Nazareth's champions
- The #15 of Tom Zeiner. I graduated from H.S. with Tom
- The #2 of Gary Metzger. Gary and I grew up together
- The #00 of Dale Reutimann. Younger brother of Buzzie.
Buzzie raced big block modified's at Nazareth and
and other tracks.
