Old Speedways –
Vintage Nazareth Speedway, 1964-1969
Nazareth Speedway was gritty but always offered exciting auto
racing, promoted during most of the 1960s by Jerry Fried. Old
Speedways has produced this exciting DVD to take a look back at the
speedway known as the "HOUSE OF POWER" and the many legendary
drivers who carved out their star status racing in Nazareth, PA.
Some of the greatest drivers from the Northeast made this track
their home, Frankie Schneider, Will Cagle, Buzzie Reutimann, Rags
Carter, Al Tasnady, Freddy Adam, Budd Olsen and Bobby Bottcher among
them.
This
DVD covers Modifieds, Limited Sportsman, Sprint Cars, and AMA
Motorcycles from 1964-69. Much of the footage shows weekly racing
with some special events, shot from many different camera angles
that show the layout of the speedway. In 1966, the larger
1-1/8th-mile Nazareth International Speedway opened alongside the
half-mile track and played host to many special-event races,
including the famous All-Star League. In this section, the footage
covers the very first race and some 1968-69 events.
In
1988, the very last race was held at the speedway, and highlights
from the huge 300-car Enduro event are captured here. Also at the
very end is a special section that takes a final look at the grounds
and the very last walk out of the gates as Nazareth closed forever.
The speedway is but a memory but this DVD will take you back to the
glory days that Nazareth once was.
Run Time: 1 hr. 35 min.
8mm amateur movies set to music.

DEMO DERBY - 1964 Crash Action Featurette
filmed at Norwood
Arena
If you ever saw a
demo derby at Norwood you will love this “Action Featurette,” which
opened as a short in 1964 with such films as Robin and the Seven
Hoods, Viva Las Vegas, and eventually the Beatles’
A Hard Day’s Night.
The film follows popular New England
heroes Don MacTavish and Bob Santos Sr., who quickly graduated from
demo derbies to dazzle fans in top-tier stock car racing across the
Northeast. Even if you never went to Norwood or saw a demo derby but
remember Madras shorts, penny loafers and crew cuts, "DEMO DERBY"
will bring a smile.
It's so
real, so ‘60s, that by the time the show is over, you may have to
look outside to be sure your old car isn't still parked in the
driveway and Norwood Arena isn't running this Saturday night.

Dinner
When supermodified great Ollie Silva died in the Fall
of 2004, a major gathering of the racing community took place to
honor both Ollie’s memory and his good friend Red LaRoche. Red had
selflessly cared for Ollie for many years as he weakened from
illness compounded from his racing injuries.
The entire event was filmed. It has great racing footage and the
guest speakers include Dick Berggren, Russ Conway, Lew Boyd, Ken
Smith, and John Spence.
54 minutes - 22 minutes
of action films
of Ollie Silva.

THUNDER HILL:
Long Shots on a Short Track
This film introduces us to several such drivers who race regularly
at Thunder Hill Raceway, a tricky 3/8 mile oval just outside of
Austin, Texas.
Through archival photographs and thrilling racing footage, as well
as interviews with these drivers, their families, friends and fellow
competitors, we'll discover that each races for a different reason.
Whether he's a Late Model driver hoping to use the track's most
competitive class as a launching pad to an eventual Nextel Cup ride
or just a Hobby Stocker enjoying a thrills and spills diversion from
her day job, these unsung drivers have stories to tell.
Mixing human drama with the colorful spectacle of a family-friendly
Saturday night at the races, THUNDER HILL: Long Shots on a Short
Track tells tales, not of the fame and fortune of NASCAR's most
glamorous racing circuit, but those which represent hometown stock
car drivers -- and their fans -- all across the country.
Color, 56 minutes.

Roll-O-Bowl
produced by Randy Anderson and Pam Brown, on behalf of the Town of
Harmony (NY) Historical Society
Roaring jalopies come to life with stories told by the racers
themselves. Roll-O-Bowl is a documentary film that highlights the
life of dirt track racing in the late 1950s. Roll-O-Bowl Speedway
was a jalopy track, located between Watts Flats and Panama in
Western New York, that operated from 1956-1960. The film includes
interviews with many former drivers, such as well-known dirt late
model racers Skip Furlow, Ron Blackmer, Jim Scott, and Johnny
Whitehead, who got their start at Roll-O-Bowl, as well as the former
track owner, Don McNitt. Roll-O-Bowl contains actual race footage
that offers a unique look at grass roots racing from 50 years ago
when racing, and life in general, was a lot simpler. This is 1950s
Americana at its best.
Runtime 36 min.
