Default Needed: Pix of Marlboro, early Summit

der Vorganger is doing a series of stories on the history of the tracks where we sponsor DEs: Marlboro (Md.) Raceway, Summit Point, Mid-Ohio, Watkins Glen and VIR. While I have a few historic photos from some of those tracks, I'd welcome any others that you might have stored away. If you can provide identification/caption material for what/who is in the photos, you get extra points. Please send to dveditor@pcapotomac.org or snail-mail to me at 6032 Makely Drive, Fairfax Station, Va. 22039. I'll take care to return any originals.

If you'd like to contribute personal memories of those tracks, too, so much the better. Thanks.

Richard,
Are pics from Summit Point in the mid 80's early enough?

Contact the editors from the Straightpipe- They did a nice series of articles a few years ago about Marlboro and Summit

Tony... yes on the Summit pix from early '80s, hopefully not just of cars going around the track. I'm interested in showing how the track/paddock/etc. have changed over the years.

Only ones I've seen are from the interweb.
ex: http://www.barcboys.com/Marlboro1962.htm

I can check with the 356 POG concourse chair (Ron Davis), he has a photo album of all kinds of old pictures, he may have some.

Some early Summit point taken by my dad. Bob Tulius, Paul Newman, our own Dave Coleman, and Sam Feinstein in his Cobra.
