RETrott Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Yep, that's Charlie Schild looking over his red #5 Modified as the orange #53 Billy Wade Modified goes past. Looks like about '59, but could be '60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAPA Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Now those are REAL race cars! But where are the splitters and rear spoilers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RETrott Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 That car on the inside must really have a tight condition without any front downforce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4PROP Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 More Playland action I like your action photos, got more? FYI: There are great "Google Earth" like aerial images of Playland Park and the entire Houston area as it was in 1957 at: http://www.historicaerials.com/ Just follow viewing instructions at that site. These are high altitude photos from an aircraft with about the same resolution as todays Google images. (Be sure and select the year 1957 from the side bar.) Pan north to Greens road, and you'll find North Houston Raceway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
