These pictures were recently given to me by childhood friend Scott Leichliter. Scott's Dad Harry was a partner with Carl Rodenbach and Charlie Shoudt starting in the late fifties at Mahoning Valley, and later Nazareth, Harmony and Flemington. Charlie eventually became the full time driver after all gave it a try.

These pictures are from the Mahoning era, track was still dirt.  Photographer is unknown for the most part, but I believe Scott's Mom Nancy took a lot of them.

I'll be posting more, hopefully daily.

Great photographs, quite before my time! I believe that Fred Rahmer Jr's Uncle Al was one of the top drivers back when Mahoning Valley was dirt.
