CHEMUNG  SPEEDROME
CHEMUNG, NY
Hi, This is Dale Welty. I have approximately 16 Bug and Coupe photos from
Chemung and probably twenty Late model / Modern photos. Some of the
Latemodel pics are from the first two years of pavement. I'd be glad to provide
my collection for your site. My brother and I purchased them at the tracks
photo booth. Finally got a scanner and converted them to files. Just let me
know if you'd like them. Thanks! DALE

And Thank You Dale for sharing them with us. They're great!
