Comments: Comment:  Sam Cellura gets his picture taken by one of the best photographers in the business (Ace Lane), standing alongside one of the most successful asphalt cars from the early 70's, with one of the all time best Ray Hendrick, who always ran very well at Trenton.  (I can remember being around 10 years old and not liking that this guy came all the way up from Virginia and whipped up on the northern racers!)

11.16.14 Joe DiMemmo

The house on the backstretch with the 3WIDE mark above used to back a dump truck up to the fence in the yard and raise the bed with boards for a mini grandstand. Magowan Ave. Entrance to the dogleg. My street.
11.16.14 3Wide I know that they added onto that development so it's hard for me to tell where the old backstretch was when I drive through there...  Is the house in the picture still there Joe?

Yes, the 3WIDE house is still there. What happened was when the housing was built, an undersized lot was attached to the house. Around 03? The lot was sub divided and a new house put on the lot, taking the 3WIDE yard and sitting on the backstretch. The new house faces Magowan ave.  

On an unrelated story, my son and I went to UPS to ship a package this past Saturday. After I said lets go look at the lake from the end between 3 and 4. Just to show him how big it was. Now one big lake instead of 2. But that’s not what this is about. On our way back to the car, I looked down and saw that the grass was dormant and darker in a roughly 10 foot wide area stretching out in an arc for around 120 to 150 feet. Runs right towards the UPS building. Kick the grass and there’s asphalt under there. It’s the transition off 4 to the frontstretch. My “professional” Trenton history guess is that it is a section of the apron due to the distance from the lake edge. (You’ll have to ask Don Lajoie, he saw the lake up close).

Somebody has dug holes taking chunks. Kinda cool something still there. I took a chunk to go with the piece of the start/finish line I chopped out in 83. Get it while it lasts.

I haven’t gone thru the Grounds for Sculpture in several years.
