I was reading at a discussion in the 70's section where several Vault contributors were talking about being scared to walk on the little road that ran next to the wall between the 3rd and 4th turns while the cars were on the track when they were kids (yeah, me too!). How about those dudes near the "fence" in picture 1? I am not sure if the fence is there for car containment or just to mark the ourside of the track. Or maybe so the horses didn't continue straight during the fair races. |

Here are some photos i have that were taken at Flemington in the late 1940's.The man i knew who took them thinks that was the years.If you noticed the second and third photos above show the same cars as in my photos.The cars numbered #3 and #34.People in the trees loads of people in the infield and every where.They were not afaird to get close to the cars racing.

Those spectators in the photos, especially the last one were either very brave, or very, well you know. Scott Ely |

From those photos, the safest place to be when at the races back then was inside a race car! |

For the Flemington pictures, I don't recognize the cars so I'm thinking this is the Eastern Association not the American Association. With the lack of leaves, my guess would be April 24, 1949. Winner was Chic Dinatale of Trenton. |

That Strupp car is a pretty strange mix of body work. Are they connected to Dutch Strupp/Sonny Strupp? None of the crew look like Sonny Strupp. Curious. Joel |
