Back in gear

June 6, 1964
Frederick, Md.
We'll get into 2014 with another Speed Shifting column, and we'll be in Maryland for a couple of weeks. This state produces the most (and pretty much the best) information from this era.

Closed for the holidays

Aug. 23, 1964
Kingsport, Tenn.

      We're taking a few days off, and will refire sometime in early January. Meanwhile, here's some holiday cheesecake. This is the only thing I've found so far about this track. The caption is crazy (finish line? don't think so).   If that's the starting line, I hope the cars were farther apart for real racing. Car on the left looks like a 63 Impala -- which I always assume is a Z-11. I want to see crossed flags on the door, typical of so many of them. I'd love to see a real print of this.
    Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year to anyone who happens to find this.
