Lancaster Motor Speedway - 1962 - Lancaster SC Photos

Trouble in Turn Four! 

Look how close the fans in the infield are to the action and there's no guard rail or wall protecting them. 

Back then, track officials wore football jerseys. Can you find the official in the picture?

It was a tight race that day July 4th weekend of 1962 at Lancaster Motor Speedway. 

Check out the outside turn. If you lost control of your car in a turn back then, you didn't hit the wall. There was no wall. You'd just end up in the parking lot. 

This is a great one to zoom into to see more details. If you're looking at this on phone and you have desktop or laptop in the next room, it's definitely worth checking out on a large screen so you can see all the details.
