40 years ago today--Nazareth 1/2 mile aerial  

I go back to when the back stretch was the home stretch & you entered from under the covered grand stands.  Rides in the race cars & Easter Egg hunts in the infield.  Tex flagging from the track & running to the flag stand.

One night we got there when races were already going on.  My Dad, his brother, myself & cousins.  My uncle went in first while my Dad was buying our tickets.  I go in under the grand stands & there's my uncle fist fighting with someone.  I run & get my Dad.  When we get back to the "scene"  the cops are kicking us out of the races.  Didn't matter that we had already bought tickets.  We went back outside,  Walked to the back stretch.  Our Dads made us all switch shirts (like they weren't going to recognize us).  Paid again to get in & watched from the back stretch.  We raced at Nazareth on occasion.  Mostly ran our cars at Hatfield Speedway, Reading & Grandview
