BTW - my family were/are dirt-track racers in Western NY.

Are you familiar with Stateline Speedway, Busti, NY? Link:
http://newstatelinespeedway.com/ It is located just inside the NY border of the PA/NY border, hence the name.
I'm originally from Erie PA, the pics in my signature were taken at Eriez Speedway. Link:

The Stateline Speedway in NY, and Eriez Speedway, Erie PA, were sister tracks about 45 miles apart, and were built, originally owned, and run by a a couple of families (The Briggs family, and the Frank families) in and around Busti NY, and Sugargrove PA.
The man that currently owns Stateline, Jim Scott, used to race GTO late models in the 64-66 era. Of course one of my favorite drivers......
He later switched to Ford, and was sponsored by Buesink Ford in Jamestown NY.
Chub Frank, and Boom Briggs, are children descended from those families that went on to become fairly well known late model drivers around the country, from that portion of the two states.
