A new story in Liar's Corner

This one's about "The Good Old Days at Stockton's 99 Speedway" by Robert Davidson

Jerry Smith Strikes Again

There are some cool developments in the making, not the least of which is that Jerry just discovered that dad is in one of Dick Wallen's Racing Classics DVDs at Winchester during an IMCA event in 1964 driving the TravelOn Trailer it seems the car was the "Old Betsy" #98 sprinter built by Walt Rieff.  Unfortunately he and Nolan Johncock are getting together and end up in the infield, but that is still an awesome discovery.  THANKS to my cousin Jerry Smith for all of his efforts to rebuild a visual history of dad's racing career and Johnny & Brenda Anderson for the ID and background!

Okay, this is too cool!  Once again, the Meyers family has come through - below is a business card found recently in the Meyers archives for my father's repair shop in Stockton on what is now Filbert Street.  I was floored that not only did it survive since the late 1950s, but in pretty good condition at that.  Click the card to see a larger image (in a new window)... and note the telephone number :>)


Giusti's Automotive business card

I began this auto racing history site in 1996 as a tribute to my father, Joe Giusti, and auto racing nostalgia in general.  From 1930 to 1980 auto racing enjoyed an unsurpassed following.  Before the big wings, expensive right rear (RR) tires and $35,000 engines, all that were required to race was a little know-how, a garage and commitment to race at the local bull ring.   Those are the racing times and people depicted within Turn 4.

Enjoy the racing stories in Liar's Corner, antiquated newspaper articles and albums in 50's News, Souvenir Programs, Photo Galleries and now Video from old 8mm reels.  You will find my
e-mail address
on
many pages within Turn 4 to which you can send me your old newspaper articles, stories or anecdotes and vintage photos from auto racings past.

Things are moving quickly these days with several additions and more promised for the near future.  Keep checking back frequently. All comments; critique and, especially praise, are welcome .
