Neat photo of the start of the 1953 NASCAR GN race at the Palm Beach Fairgrounds Speedway… date was 2/1/53… Dick Rathman is on the pole in a Hudson with Fonty Flock outside in an Oldsmobile… Lee Petty went on to win the race in a new 1953 Dodge while Jimmy Lewallen drove Petty’s year-old Plymouth to a second place finish… The second photo is of Petty in victory lane with Lewallen to the left in the red shirt… The third photo shows a fan getting an up close look at the engine in Petty’s car… neat old stuff… Photos courtesy of Mark Allen…
It’s so flat!!! Maybe that was before they dug the lake and banked it up more?
