Edgewater Raceway Park
I can't remember if I posted this link or not but these pictures were taken by Bill "Redman" Floyd at Edgewater Raceway Park over the years. The pictures range from Junior Stock to Top Fuel and I will be adding more as time allows.

Re: Edgewater Raceway Park
That was a "local" track for us for years. We ran the weekly SS program with some of the cars pictured in these photos. When the air was good the track was great if the air was hot and humid it was REALLY slow. I dont think it has kept up to specs. Some good guys worked it too. I think of Harvey....... who worked everywhere....

Re: Edgewater Raceway Park
I hate to say it but I do remember almost all of these cars. I raced at Edgewater in the early 60's and they had the first tree that I saw. It sat on a trash can and I think it had only 2 or 3 lights and a sweep hand clock on the tower. Great Pictures Red Man. Steve

Re: Edgewater Raceway Park
Ok...this track has had several owners over the years; who can remember "Gentleman Jim" Settles or, has been there after a rainstorm and East Miami River Road (and the track) flooded?
There was a storm that passed through cancelling the race, "Gentleman Jim" didn't plan on giving any rainchecks, until everyone gathered at the base of the tower and wouldn't let him out... |
Re: Edgewater Raceway Park
Dick....you must be speaking of Harvey Bond. Never saw anyone work the stagin lanes like him. Tom Longeneckers 57 Chevy brings back old memories. I raced him several times at Pences for the $$$ in 1970. Also the 63 Dodge that belonged to Tom Fox. "The Fox" Dean Karns and Leo Lopez with the Vette. I remember when that car was lime green and Hamby was Leo's partner. Nice pics....

It took a while to go through them all, but they were pretty cool Bob. I especially liked the shots at the scales,,, a good place to catch them at. Thanks again for doing this for all of us to enjoy. You know I'll be sending you some more in the near future. Take care,,,,,,,,, Danny Durham
