SLATE OF PRESENTERS AT “RACING MEMORIES” PROGRAM EXPANDED

Saratoga Springs, NY  An already full slate of presenters for the Saratoga Automobile Museum’s annual “Racing Memories” program (formerly Lost Speedways) has been expanded by two with the addition of Ron Moshier, author of a terrific book on modified hero Lou Lazzaro, and longtime Vermont-based dirt tracker Eugene Munger.

            The duo will join Lime Rock Park announcer Greg Rickes, modified stars Jack Lehner and Dave Camara and returning Pennsylvanian Richie Tobias, who will talk about both his Slingshot racers and his standout racing career.  Along with a local racer and his car, Tobias will bring one of his new electric Slingshots for attendees to check out.

            “I’m looking forward to interviewing Ron and Eugene as well as the previously committed Lehner, Camara and Tobias” offered event organizer Ron Hedger.  “With Greg covering Showroom Stock racing at LRP and the others offering unique views of their segments of the sport, it should be a great day.  And the recent return of the Nolan Swift ‘Ten Pins’ supermodified to the Racing in New York gallery by restorer Steve Miller will give visitors a chance to examine one of the Oswego Speedway’s most famous cars as well.”

            As always, the Racing Memories program will be held on the Saturday after Thanksgiving (November 25^th) with doors opening at 10 am.  Attendees are encouraged to bring their memorabilia to display, with a rerun of the video of Hedger’s interview with Ronnie Johnson recalling his late father “Jumpin’ Jack” Johnson set to run prior to the formal presentations.

            The Saratoga Automobile Museum is located on the Avenue of the Pines in the Saratoga Spa State Park, just off the Adirondack Northway at exit 13 N.  More information on the museum and advance sale tickets to Racing Memories are available online at www.saratogaautomuseum.org.
