Heat action at Fairmont Speedway during C.J. Richards' inaugural year, 1962. Among the cars are:
26, Lee Rivers; 7, Joe Spellburg, 535, Bob Boyd [inside 2nd row]; and 27, Rosie Rosendahl.

Gene Tetrault, Manchester Depot, VT This is very likely the car Gene raced in the 1950's at places like Stateline and Pico. He brought it back out for a brief time in 1962 before building the famous sedan. The car at Stateline around 1952, as taken by future Grand National and Grand American star Paul Connors, from Danby, VT.	Wayne Strong, Glens Falls, NY This is probably a regular car at the old Whites Beach and Ashland Park race tracks. This was a rare Fairmont appearance. This is same the car, probably shot the same day by me, in failing light.	George Proctor, Crescent, NY George was making a name for himself at Victoria, in what they called the hobby class. I also saw him at The Pine Bowl with this old Hudson, on that same DVD. He wasn't nearly as good in the Bowl as he was at Fairmont on the disk. Leaving Fairmont after winning his feauture. That is Mac McDonald in the background, cooling off his matching tow truck.
Dick Pennock, Warrensburg, NY This was the second SUPER 38 of the year. he went off the track in the first one and his ownbrand new car. The SUPER 38 were namedat Maltbie Chevrolet for the year of the body used. Ladabouche Photo	The Loomis Bros. car, Granville, NY Although one of the brothers drove it for a while, the car is best known for being driven by veteran Nelson Moore, of Hudson Falls. Ladabouche Photo	Ed Baker, Athol, NY This was the last year for Vern Baker's legendary 6 PAC Hudson. It had been driven by the famous Wally LaBelle in the 1950's and later by Ed Baker. Fairmont had forced Vern to put fenders back on the old girl, and she looked pretty odd. Photo Courtesy of the Hackel Family The Labelle - driven PAC Hudson, lining up for a race at Ashland Park, in Warrensburg. Another video capture of the Labelle - driven PAC Hudson in action at Whites Beach Speedway, near Ballston Spa, NY.
Bob LaBarge, Whitehall, NY An extremely rare, seldom- seen car - the 5 & 10.	Bill Threw, W. Glens Falls, NY He won the 2nd race CJ had at Fairmont in 1962.	Jack McClure, Pottersville, NY A very rare shot. I don't even recall seeing that car at Fairmont.
Art LaBelle, Rutland, VT This is a driver who moved up from Hartford, CT	Gene Tetrault's jeep wrecker was to Fairmont what Gigi Conover's jeep push truck was to Fonda.	Red Smith, Athol, NY This car is also seen in Whites Beach footage. It ran at Ashland Park, as well.
Al Rodd, Shushan, NY Al happened to have a family member who shot a lot of the Fairmont 8mm footage. Ladabouche Photo	Buddy Bardwell, Keene, NH Buddy won the first race at Fairmont in this car - not his typical bullhorned Hudson. Ladabouche Photo	Bob Boyd, Salem, NY Bob had a great-looking car that seemed to be teamed with Rodd. He didn't show up much. Ladabouche Photo

The 1963 or 64 Fairmont pit area in the infield. I can identify Loomis's P61 [red and white car left foreground] and I believe the next
stock car to the right [facing away from camera] may have been a #X, owned by John Luleck.

Jim Hoyt, Saranac Lake, NY I am assuming this is Hoyt, whose father not only ran the track but who was the owner of Lakeside Garage.	Bob Bushey, Burlington, VT This is the Sullivan 586, out of rural Panton, VT. The team always used odd car types. This one had a LaSalle body. This is another video capture. I converted to grayscale to use it in a column of mine.	Rod Ritchie, Saranac Lk., NY Rod was a good runner at Airborne Speedway , but he was a terror at Saranac Lake. Photo Courtesy of Ardyce Blohm At Airborne. Check out all those victory decals.
This shows the nearby Aaron Hoyt barn, which still stands today, as evidenced by my 2008 photo below:	Cars 21 and 11 - Sonny Sawyer and Junior Bruno, navigate the bumpy, dusty front stretch.	Car 77, Henry Jarvis navigates the front stretch. Jarvis' orange and brown scheme came from an A&W sponsorship.

Bob Holman, Troy, NY This is a rare shot of a seldom-seen car. It also could have been George Voeckler of Ballston Lake, NY. Judging from the number and color scheme, I would say it was a mild tribute to the great Saratoga driver Spence Parkhurst. Photo Courtesy of CJ Richards Parkhurst... and this car is black on top and red on the bottom. The color shot COULD be Parkhurst.	Ed Ortiz, Ransomville, NY A rare sighting of Ortiz and one of his homely but amazingly fast #0's - at Victoria. Ladabouche Coll. Photo by Russ Bergh At Fonda	148, Robbie Kotary, Rome, NY H2 [outside] Skip Roots, Gloversville, NY Kotary is driving the Ward Petit 148. Two of my photos showing each car arriving at Fonda in 1964.

Chet Hames looks over cars lining up at Victoria. 32 is Jerry Townley in the Pop Wilcox car; 33 is Wimble.	Pepper Eastman, Madison, NY The Bob Zimmerman72 in which he would be killed later that season.	Al "Buck" Peek, Frank Simek Photo The same car in action at Fonda around 1964.

This is the J. R. Earl car leading Dee Goodermotte's late model - bodied Lebanon Valley car. Others in the photo are likely the McCready S33 and Ken Delong.	Mike Suraske's 10-10 Oriskany, NY I am not sure who was driving the car here - maybe Cliff Kotary.	Jeep Herbert, Rotterdam, NY takes off the bandana after a win driving the Frank Trinkhaus #62.
Ken Delong, Whitehall, NY I have Ken at four different tracks on this 8mm DVD disk: here, Fonda, Whites Beach, and Victoria.	Kittler's familiar coupe, re-numbered 87 I have no idea who was driving here or why the car was changed from #37.	Crews discuss how to free up one of Henry Caputo's coupes in a scramble that involved almost the whole feature field in turn three at Stateline.
