Comments: | Here we have 2 legends of the sport doing battle in the asphalt days of New Egypt Speedway. I know that Gil visited the track last year (2002) for the Legends of the Fall event and I saw Will Cagle visiting NES this year (2003) during the outlaw show. |

12/18/03 | James Kelleher | The year was 1968. It would have been a Thursday night in late May or early June. Others who ran New Egypt during that abbreviated season were, PeeWee Griffin, Herbie Tillman, Buzzie Reutimann, Tommie Elliott, Don MacTavish, Frankie Schnieder, Al Tasnady and many others. Although it was not a successful year for the track, the fact that Fort Dix was the only Thursday night racing brought drivers together from dirt and asphalt tracks. |
