Top and second: After seeing his Dad’s “Lazy 1” on
Teddy Ryan’s
page, Dan took
the time to scan down a few pictures in various stages of his Dad’s
career. Here’s a picture that shows
just why antacid was invented, as this crash, and after effects are pictured
here from July 1959.
Third Photo: Kiddie rides were always a huge hit at Lebanon valley, and George decided to do his part and pick up a few munchkin’ hitchhikers, munchkin’s who are probably either retired now, or very close to it.
Fourth Photo:
George loses the handle in his #127, as Dan points
out that it looks like Len Noreens #262 squeaking
by on the inside
Fifth Photo:
George flashes around the speedway in this Joe
Norton owned 9-x out of
Sixth Photo: This is something my father had shared
with me when I was younger. At one
time My Father and a few others had arranged to buy the Burden Lake Speedway
from the guy who owned the property. They
had even given deposits on the land in April of 1957, and were in the middle
of drawing up the paperwork. That's
when as I recall my father saying the gentleman died and the family wouldn't
continue the sale. I wonder if any of
the other people involved have ever been on this site.
Would've been nice to have another
track possibly still running around here if this deal had gone through.
