GSVSCC member, Butch Colosimo's great looking Pinto reminds us of the paved years at New Egypt Speedway...

Modified driver John McClelland takes a break to say hello to some of the guests from night sponsor "Joy Auto Parts".

Here's the crew from Joy Auto Parts (Greenbrook, NJ). That's SS Sprint racer Garrent Luzi next to John in the bottom row (center).
And for the dirt track Flemington fans, I'm sure you'll remember "Joe Luzi" (bottom row, 2nd from left) who drove the "Toy" car in the early 80's.

Here's Joe at speed in the Joy Auto Parts Special in turn 3 at Flemington from 1981.

Here's the "under construction #71" driven by Chris Allen Sr. that is well on its way of looking like the sedan his father Jerry Allen drove to victory at Wall Stadium

Beth Hendershot (wife of Modified driver Mike Hendershot) gives the thumbs up waiting for her ride in the 2 Seater...
