| Comments: | Dirt's for racing... Asphalt is for getting there... or for trying to raise the value of your facility so that you can get funny money when you sell... Enough of my comments which I'm sure many disagree with, but I'm sure we can all agree that we could all stand a little Flemington dust right about now. This is one of my top 5 favorite pictures in the Vault and it is a fine example of Paul Irving's work. Paul had a way of getting in a unique postion to capture not just the action, but to really capture the moment. |

"Dirt's for Racing...." This is one of my favorite shots, taken on a beautiful Memorial day, 1978. It was a torrid race which was won by Billy Osmun in the Ferriuollo #73. Great shots often come from the grandstand! |
| 04/09/03 | John Larsen | Don't forget Billy Pauch in his # 15 right behind Horton in the Statewide # 3. Is Bob Smith's # 16 behind the Hager # 43 or could it be the Oliver # 86? |
| 04/09/03 | 3-Wide | John - You are now entering scary territory... Isn't weird how a picture like this can bring you right back like if it was from last Saturday night at the square? This picture by Paul Irving will do just that if you look at it long enough...Thanks for your comments. |
| 12/17/03 | Fred Voorhees | I remember this day as if it were yesterday. Osmun in the Ferriuollo 73 and Kenny Brightbill in his Pinto 19 fought back and forth for the lead for damned near the entire 200 lap distance. I was along the track near the second turn for most of the race and got to see the two battle close up and personal while taking pictures. I remember this day was a pretty hot day and if I'm not mistaken, I remember reading in AARN, someone, possibly Ken Kuhlman, stated that Osmun perspired so much that he lost around sixteen pounds from the lost water. That was one awesome and memorable battle between the two and one hell of a race! |
