DENNY MOORES - Memories of Midstate Speedway
At the 11th annual Central New York Old Time Stock Car Convention and
Hall of Fame Induction held on 9/9/06 @ Midstate Speedway, we had the
good fortune of meeting longtime Midstate fan and racer Denny Moore.
Denny attended the races at the Morris Speedplant throughout the 1960's
and kept his shutter warm, taking photo's both from the grandstands as
well as the pits. He bestowed us with these wonderful photo's and we're
pleased to present them here for all to enjoy. Thanks Denny!
