Kids riding on race car images  

I remember those times well.  Easter Sunday at Nazareth.  Easter Egg hunt in the infield & rides in the race cars.   My brother & I rode in the 16J Elton Hidreth.  Our Dad knew him from growing up in Salem, NJ.   We use to race at Hatfield Speedway,  about 8-10 miles from our shop in Ambler, Pa.  Around 6-8 years old I would go to the races by myself with my Dad towing the race car.   I remember 1 night after the races, everyone staying after & drinking some beer.  When it was finally time to leave, some guys lost their ride home.  I ended up riding home in the race car on the trailer sitting on the lap of our driver, Eddie Bryant.  It was smashed & I was scared that he might throw me out of the car on the way home.  My Dad said "Don't tell your Mother about this or you'll never be able to go the races again!"
