Those were the days!

Better work something put with Aiyuk. Pearshall too fragile. He is not going to work out.

My favorite driver -Sam Beavers

Thanks for sharing the video. Miss that track.

i was just telling my youngest kid stories about his grandpa and going to flemington to watch midgets/modifieds run…thanks for uploading this footage..brings back some good memories of being a little kid in the grandstands trying to pick up the tear away goggle lenses and getting burnt by adults cigarette cherries while walking in the crowds..80s were a dangerous time for a lil kid haha 😂

My father new you. You took many pictures of our 2 antiques. Nmbr 52 n T72. One is is a 40 Ford the other 35 Ford sedan. Wondering if you have any film of these get togethers? My dad is deceased now but if I can find some stills and or videos to show his grandkids n great grandkids, it would mean a lot. I remember Norman Pengelly out of Quakertown, Ray something out of Horsham near my dad, John Burkhard. Esp remember a little antique modified that was just awesome, went toe to toe with modern modifieds till he got punted n destroyed. I thought he ran with a flat head. Spent a lot of time at Flemington, Grandview and wall stadium. Bridgeport also. Only one time we're both cars out at same time. My dad in one and my uncle in the other..

Flemington was a cool track! Great video!

I see the start of kit chassies

Always enjoyed listening to Bill Singer announce. He had certain ways in using words in which no other announcer has done. Like "down the back ", "down the front ", # three corner". R.I.P. Bill. I've missed listening to you announce very much.

81 is nasty Sammy Beavers -always in the top 10 and good guy-miss watching his last lap inside moves on dirt! My favorite

NICE! I went to HCHS right by the Speedway. Graduated in 86. There's a good chance I was at this race.

One great race for Sammy Beavers !!! Also Emill Garay in uniform working the gate ! After the race. My Dad, miss him.

Everyone from parkland pa would load up on Saturday to go to Flemington. Now I go to barberville to watch billy pauch win here too.

I was there.

I was there yee haw

Ah Flemington. Rookie Sportsman ran their own division. Top 3 would make the Sportsman (was 339 ci, later 358 ci) small blocks at the end of the field. This might have been the second to last or last race of the Rookie season that year. They usually ran 10 races until graduation and the crowning of the Rookie championship. In this case, Allamuchy, NJ's Guy Howie won the championship in the 19. He later moved up to big block modifieds, running the John Burnett engine/chassis combination. Guy had a temper and wound up getting kicked out of Flemington, among other tracks. Had wins at Bridgeport, Lebanon Valley (NY) and Thunder Mountain before retiring. Owned a 360 sprint car and ran with the URC for several seasons. I last saw him in the pits at Williams Grove in 2013 and he was already in ill health. Helped work on his 19H modified at Nazareth and for Super Dirt Week.

3:02 the yellow car absolutely planting it and passing on the inside! Now that's how it's really done.

2:14 Billy Carbery mentioned over the loudspeaker.

Man do I miss the racing at Flemington!!!

I loved going to this track!

Thank you for sharing this, I spent my youth running around the infield of Flemington Speedway every Saturday night

1981 i was only 10yrs old...Flemington and Nazareth were great tracks but nothing compared to the one and only ...the Great READING FAIRGROUNDS....that track was in a league of its own...for the racers AND the fans...thank you to Joe Biden and this current corrupt democrat administration the cost of fuel is shutting down most of the racetracks between now 2022 til we get Trump back in office to lower fuel cost auto racing is a dieing sport....nobody is gonna want to see electric racecars.....but hey,,,at least we have an open border for all the illegal immigrants can come in to invade our country.....goodbye auto racing it was great while it lasted

Sam’s 1st turn pass on the outside separates the men from the boys. Shows just how great he was behind the wheel.

Remember when it was dirt,yeah I remember, that's the only way I can remember,never considered once to an ASSphalt

Anyone remember when it was a dirt track

THANKYOU !!!!

Holy shit the old gremlims...look how tight they are.........incredible.........

Flemington was so much more fun before it was paved. I know I was there at some point in 1981. My dad used to take me a couple of times a year. Great memories. That version of the Star Spangled Banner they used to play was something else, right??

In the background: " Cold drinks here!"

Rip Ken Brenn

I can still hear the track announcer say “Biiiiig Tom Hagar!” Spent every Saturday night there as a kid. Chip Slocum, Ken Johnson, Ray Bateman, Elvin Felty, Doug Hoffman, Billy Pauch (boo) lol. We used to travel to a bunch of tracks. Syracuse, US13, East Windsor, Nazareth, Bridgeport, even one down in Volusia FL one time. But Flemington was home base. My friends dad drove sprint cars. Not world of outlaws but the other ones, that I can’t think of.

Man, this brought a tear to the eye, I must admit. Thanks so much for posting this video. In 1981, I was a freshman in high school and my dad would take my little brother and me to the races every weekend. I was always a huge Sammy fan, hell, we all were. He always raced clean and put on a great show. I remember my brother and I imitating Bill on the way home in my dad's Plymouth Fury III, yelling... "And coming out of the short chute, it's SAMMMMMYYY BEAVERRRRSSSS!" :) I wish I could get in a time machine and go back to 1981 to re-live everything that Flemington was about in those days. The sights, smells, sounds... glorious. I remember taking Rt 523 from Whitehouse Station to Flemington and the "whoop-t-do's" (what we called the little hills) on that road that dad would speed up for, just to get a little light suspension action going on the backside of them. Easy to do in a boat, like the Fury III :) He knew we loved it and it was part of the ritual of heading to the races. We'd usually end up parking on the other side of Rt 31 and walking across to get to the track. You knew if you were jumping over a bunch of puddles on the way in, because of a recent rain, that the track was going to be fast! Dad would buy us each a bag of peanuts, we'd head to the turn four bleachers, knock the black clay dust off the wood in our favorite spot and sit down to see one of the greatest shows that ever was!

Thanks for the great memories

Reading, Friday night, and Flemington on Saturday, Tracks where they came to race and the shows were always first rate from the promoters and track personnel, 😎

WOW! This was a “run what ya brung” looking class! Love it though!

Wow what a cool track! Never seen a track shape like that and the position of the flag man.

Sam was 10th at halfway, 6th on the last restart with 3 to go and passed Brenn and Cozze in the last 2 laps to win. Awesome!

Sammy Slideways

1985 And people booing Billy Pauch.

Thumbnail Frankie Schneider.... all we watch is the #6, we don't even see Frankie in the race ow how he finishes or anything. Might as well put a half naked woman in the thumbnail, it's the same type of misleading thumbnail.

Ah the good ol days

Do you have ant with the Z95 car, racing I would like to watch that. Thanks

These videos are great have anymore?

June 13th

Love these videos!! It does make me sad to know we'll never see another race there. My favorite track by far and well worth the 2 hour drive Saturday nights!

Awesome video, welcome to Modified Country USA Bobby Hillin

Awesome! Thank you for posting this. First time seeing my dad's first win!

What a high Side Pass. There was no room left near the 1st turn boards .
