Photos from Centerville / Cinderville Raceway, and Bradley Raceway.(an hour out of Chicago)
A lot of interesting faces.
I think I spot Jim DiFalco next to Reggie Coram.

I think that is me next to Reggie. I did not race that year hence I did not blow up every motor I had! I should have been on the foosball table non stop but I did not remember the raceway having one.

As mentioned, the pics are from both Centerville, and Bradley Raceway.
Bradley Raceway, at that location, had two Hasse King tracks, and the foosball table.

Jeff, thanks for the good picture of me! Now I have less hair and a lot more weight! What I miss most about being young is going to the Eldorado diner to eat at 11pm, after a night of racing at Elmsford, and not having a hint indigestion going to sleep.

11PM? That sounds early. I remember the dinner just down the street from the track at 2 AM, of course that was about 1975.
