The show must go on... Just days after hurricane Sandy hit the coast, car and racing enthusiasts came out in numbers for Pumpkin Run 2012
The #659 roars to life... with a sound all its own...
...and with the signature flame.
Plenty to look at outside..
...and inside too. The doors were open on the brand new South Jersey Racing Museum.
Great combination of "hard parts" including tires...
... engines...
... carbs, injectors...
uniforms... trophies...
... and tons of photos and articles, all well organized by track and by driver.
