It could be Bruton's track. The cars look restored to me. Wheels on the Nova far side weren't made back in the day

Top image is of a Bebe Zalinski owned car, driven by Gene Bergin, my dad worked for Walker Motor Sales part time and as a young boy I got to see a lot of this car. Old Blue #3 is legend in these parts, Fred Desaro and Carl "Bugsy" Stevens drove that car back in the day and got many wins in the Northeast. Last one was owned by Smith and Sons jewelers back in the early 60s, driven by Rene Charland.

I may have mentioned a couple times that my moms cousin raced. I him saw a couple months ago and we had a long talk about his career. He ran from 66-72 and won 4 championships. This is his first car, 1955 Ford with a 427.

@Clutch , just to give some clarity, John Boy and Billy do a daily M-F radio show out of Charlotte, NC and are crazy funny, combo of music, skits and just fun stuff.

I attached one of their skits, enjoy.
