I had an Uncle who raced at this track when I was little. His name was Dean Bissell. I can only remember a few other drivers. There was Bill Terwilliger, Roger Ryder, Ed Northrup and Bud Morrow. There was another guy that I knew but I can only remember his last name, Dolloph. Since my Father passed away in '57 I had a hard time getting to the track,because I was only 8, but my Mother would take me every once in awhile because Dean was her brother. I believe they raced on Sunday afternoons, but I am not sure. They might have raced Saturday nights and had specials on Sunday afternoon every once in a while. Maybe someone else out there could jog my memory on things?.
