Comments: Comments provided by Russ:  Race fan or not, in 1962, you could not have traveled north of the Flemington circle past the fairgrounds without seeing this billboard.  For my collection, this photo is worth as much as any car/race photo I have.  Thanks to the foresight and skill of Bob Farlee with his Nikon reflex camera, memories of this type were recorded.  While many photographers were taking those fabulous shot of the cars and drivers, Bob shot photos of what made up the racing environment.  His Flemington photos include excellent shots of the grandstand and the pagoda for example.  While the pictures had to be reproduced from 35 mm slides the color and overall quality is terrific.  Thank you Bob, for sharing your work.  Bob, a real fine gentleman, is the treasurer of the Garden State Vintage Stock Car Club and has been forever!  Again, thank you Bob, Russ Dodge

05/23/03 3-Wide I agree Russ - The cars and drivers are great, but I always enjoy posting pictures that say as much about the era as they do the sport itself.  By the way, I encourage anyone who's not already a member of the Garden State Vintage Stock Car Club, to please visit their site and look at all the great things they're up to.  The last time I checked, it was only $15 to join, and they send you a great newletter including pictures and info from 'the good old days...   Click below for more details, and let them know that we were talking about them!:   www.gsvscc.org
