I remember sneaking into the pits,then into the grandstands when I was about 15. I could hear the races at night from my house at 128th and Sangamon. Those were great times !!!

The ivy looks as good as wrigley field George must have trimmed it
I remember a couple of things: "Welcome to the Zoo" and Dan t-boning Tom Lamb in the driver's door during a claiming race. Dan was driving a '55 Caddy with 500 lbs. of sheet metal in the trunk. No way anyone could spin him out, right? Lamb driving under the alias of Roy Brandenburg did!

It was Stash Kullman in the 4U car. Wanna say 1960. It was the greatest accident I ever saw. He might have been the only one to fly out of the track, but there have been others who have come close.
