01/29/04 Randy Koch Was there any better than "Rags" at Nazareth? I don't think so.
11/02/04 Geoffrey Yoder I was there, and if I remember correctly Rags left the track around the second turn during the race through a section of fence that had been torn down previously, thus he left no new hole. The announcer was asking for much of the race after that if anyone knew where Rags Carter was, as he
was not on the track and not in the pits! I also remember a picture showing Rags flipping into the trees off the second turn that day. It was the same race where Carl Van Horn plowed into a stalled car on the front stretch that was there for a few laps. Also Neil Height, a "bug" driver from Williams Grove went flipping off turn three while in contention. And Freddie Adams going to the outside on the last lap to pass both Bill Wimble and I think Cagle for the controversial win, as some say he lost a
lap fixing a flat tire caused by Billy D losing a shock on the front stretch early in the race. Priceless times.
12/08/05 Edward Smith I was also at the 1964 Langhorne race... What a great final 10 laps... Freddy Adam.. Bill Wimble and Kenny Shoemaker battlefor the win.

I remember the race being stopped after the Neil Height accident to allow the sun to set before continuing the action.  I also have a program autographed by Bobby Pickell that still has remnants of the fried chicken he was eating after the race.

09/03/06 Mike Monnat I was also there and if I remember correctly didn't Charlie Jarzombeck also flip almost in the same place that Haight did? Also if I remember correctly didn't Adam's Joe Bullock owned car have a Pontiac motor in it?.

We stayed at the same motel that Ed Monsey (of T-52 fame that housed I think a big Lincoln motor and Frankie Schneider drove once in awhile) did.  Also very surprised at the performance of Bill Murdoch in a (I think it was a bronze color) #42. I also remember Bud Olsen passing a whole bunch of cars in getting the consi win in I think the Piscopo #39.

I could be wrong on some of this as some brain cells have a tendency to deplete themselves after forty-two years but it was a great time non-the-less.
