Palm Beach On A Sunday Afternoon

Check out the crowds in these two photos from Palm Beach Fairgrounds Speedway…
First one is from 1976, I think… Charlie Ragan (11), Jim Fenton (FOUR), Al Kuhn (88), Speedy Reeves (21), Larry Rogero (17) & Bobby Brack (57)…
Second one is '78-'79… Dick Anderson (92), Speedy Reeves (21), Gary Balough (72), Robert Hamke (74), Larry Rogero (17) and further back is Bobby Allison in his AMC Hornet (12)…

pictures don’t show the real banking on that old track. awsome track to run on.

Sure do miss that place

Bobby Henry’s #47 next to Dickie, Paul Conners behind Allison, I think Bill Abbey is next to Bobby. Bobby Brack in the ex-Larry Detjens #125 next to Allison.

was awesome!

wonder if i was there when this was taken. VERY possible. i didnt know anyone at Fl. short tracks back then. Lived in WPB… the racing was superb!

Carol, that second pic is from the 1978 Orange Blossom. I know I was there; I have a couple of pics from that race. Here’s Bill Abbey (#29), Jerry Adema (#22), and Marshall Herring (#96). In the Jerry Adema pic, that’s me hangin’ on the fence in the #44 jersey…LOL
