Found Some Old Late Model Pictures.....

With all racing in the area canceled due to cold and snowy conditions I found some time to do a little house cleaning this weekend and came across these old prints in a box that also contained many of my old record albums from my youth. We had a house fire back in 1997 so I had thought that I had lost all of them, but thankfully no. And I had also thought that I had turned over all of my old prints to Barry Johnson for him to scan in so that we could place them on the Positively Racing Facebook page. Obviously these were hidden with the old music, so it was a nice find on a race less weekend!

Yes, I tried my hand at race photography back in the early 90's and while a couple of these are pretty clear, most are just a smidge out of focus. And when you have talented friends like Barry Johnson, Dennis Krieger, John Vass and others I eventually decided to leave my camera at home on race nights. But on this weekend, these sure do bring back some memories. Hope they do for you as well.
