Old School Dirt Sprints and Midgets

Recommended Posts

These are all old builds.....at least 25 years old except for the maroon flamed Monogram midget which is about 40 years old.

I may have shown a couple of these on here before, but I've just been trying out my new 'photo tent' and these are fresh pics.

I really like this collection!I live in a hot bed of dirt tracks.I have 13 dirt tracks within a 2 hr drive from my house.You can find me at Williams Grove Speedway almost every friday night!As a matter of fact tomorrow night is York County Racing Club night and they will have old sprint cars just like yours on display in the infield.

Although I live a long distance away from Williams Grove Speedway, it's without a doubt my favorite track and I try to get there at least once a summer......lots of great 410 racing, beautiful location, reasonable price, and NON SMOKING. This year, weather permitting, I'm planning to go on July 29....the same weekend that I go to the car show/toy show in Macungie PA.

In the same trip, I also always try to get to the Eastern Museum of Motor Racing in Latimore.......a fabulous racing museum run mostly by dedicated racers.

Years ago, my brother and I restored an old midget racer that is now part of our old car collection.
