Models and drawings of cars that competed at Old Bridge
and some of the other "Lost Speedways" of the state.
In addition to a 1/2 mile asphalt oval, Old Bridge
Speedway also featured a 1/8th mile drag strip.
Interesting photo/story board of speed runs made at the
Woodbine Airport back in the late 50's/early 60's.
Earl Krause begins an interview session with some of the
guest drivers.
Gil Hearne shares a story and a few laughs with the
group (left to right: Dennis Zimmerman, Bob
Rossell, Earl Krause, Gil Hearne, Bob and Sue Boudinot.
The Thomas Warne Museum location is a great place to
host this fall tradition.
We got the #292 Al Michalchuk replica out of the barn
just for the occasion. (Thanks Kevin Eyres for
the use of the ramp truck and for helping us get it
there and back!)

We won't forget "The Wildman."

Here's an up close view for those who like things that
go "Vroom..."

Suspension "tricks of the trade" from back in the
60's...
Open wheel vintage cars
Current Wall modified racer on display to provide a
little of "what's new" compared to "what's not so new!"
Bill Force does a little adjusting on the #XL-1 to get 'er
ready to roll out...
Ray Liss heads out with his #1 vintage sprinter.... Time
to load up the #292 and call it a day.
See you next year!
