Discuss the history of Northern Raceway.

I remember as a youngster going to Northern Raceways with my older brother. He was the one who got me into the stock car thing in the first place. When I was building my first stock car my brother became ill and passed away. I have his name on my dash as my co-pilot and he's brought me good luck, even though my number is 13. I race at Laird International Raceway in Echo Bay Ontario. I was looking at the pictures and it brought back alot of great memories, thanks for posting them. I would love to take my current car around Northern Raceways to see how it would feel on the other side of the fence. Here are some pics of my current car. Thanks to my big brother Ray King for taking me to my first race, I'm hooked, anyone who races knows what I mean, the fever is in my blood for ever.

I too remember back when racing was big in the Sault area. I recently took a trip out to Wright's raceway, this brough back a lot of memories. I remember my parents taking me there when I was very young. I still remember when Ed Powley hit the starters stand. We went down and looked at the car still crumpled against the stand.  The stand was in the infield and nothing more than a timber shell filled with gravel.  
I also remember 5th line. What a treat to watch racing in a paved track. Today I took a walk around this track and it appears to holding it's own against the elements. A  flood of memories came back to me while wandering the grounds. Thanks for the pics from the racing days !!!!

I am 50 years old now and hope that all youngsters who have the opportunity to enjoy racing at Laird will hold their memories near and dear to their hearts like I do.

Respectfully

Lost in Time
