Provider's comments: | This is probably my favorite picture in The Vault. I was too young to be there that night, but I'm old enough to realize just how spectacular this sport has been. |

12/21/02 | Palmco | WOW, What an awesome picture! My heart rate sped up for a moment when I saw that picture at 7am this morning. Brings back many childhood memories of special nighttime feature line ups at various tracks growing up. Thanks for the "MORNING RUSH" no need for coffee now! |
12/21/02 | 3-Wide | All tracks should still do this today. How many
of us have childhood memories of drivers parking their cars in line like this and then
standing where all fans could see them during driver introductions before the feature
event. I applaud Bridgeport for trying to keep this tradition alive. I know it
takes time, and it's a lot harder to get in and out of a racecar today, but if it is truly
about the fans, then this HAS TO BE A PART OF THE SHOW! This is not a sport about machines, it's a sport about the heroes that drive them.... |
12/21/02 | Ed Duncan | The picture above is the Vineland, N.J. Speedway ( not Old Bridge). PS Thats a great shot. |

It is one of my favorite photo in my William Curley Collection of Vineland Speedway. Thanks, Russ Dodge |
02/04/04 | Dawn | Beautiful picture of the Vineland speedway. My father (Ben Vanaman) raced at this speedway in the red & white 7VO car. Our family has only one picture of my father now deceased sitting proudly in his car. I have many fond memories of this racetrack but would love any pictures of the 7VO car, if any one has any to share would be greatly appreciated. |
