First of all, congratulations on your purchase. I'm sure you will enjoy it! Like some other people said I can get most places in 2WD. You don't have to drive around in 4WD unless you really need it. Using 4WD all the time you will just eat up a lot of gas. Wow, you read the owners...

I spoke to two of my uncles tonight, one is 63 and the other is 80 years old. Both are from the Medford area. When asked about it they both mentioned the gas station at Chairville and then the Sunoco station with the vacuum cleaner repair shop behind it. My uncle who is 80 said he could not...

Not sure if this helps anything but I find this photograph remarkably interesting. It's amazing what a single picture can do to spark one's curiosity. I wanted to get a date on Gulf logos and this was the closest thing I found: http://www.motorheadhotspots.com/id62.html Scroll about...

Would there be any information in Henry Bisbee's book Sign Posts; Place Names in the History of Burlington County? Sorry I do not have a copy of it, otherwise I would check myself.

This may sound like a foolish question but I have always wondered if ticks have always been this prevelent in the Pine Barrens. We all have stories of getting covered in ticks when we go out in the Pines during the warmer months. How did the people who lived out there in 1700's and 1800's...

I agree with you, but as a percentage deaths are down as well.

This is all about Assembly Bill 823 which they think is going to stop illegal ORV use. Guess what? It's not. I agree with some of it, like every ATV should be registered, insured and tagged, but I only agree with that if you give people a place to ride. I feel some of the state forests...

Overall ATV deaths are actually down by 15% compared to 2003 and for children under the ages of 16 the number of deaths has dropped 28%. Those numbers are from 2003 to 2006. Link: http://www.courierpostonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080408/NEWS01/804080365/-1/towns69 While it is...

Thanks Bruset. I thought I wrote something about it before. I should read my own notes.

It is actually spelled BOMARC and it stands for Boeing Michigan Aeronautical Research Center. There is a lot of information about it on the web and in a box in my room (college paper). The accident happened in 1960 after a helium tank caught on fire. The fire spread causing the missile to...

Wow, that is awesome! Hats off to your father for helping to design one of the most verstile jets ever! My father was in the USAF and stationed in Vietnam for 1 year. I have multiple pics that he took of F4's taking off and landing. He did bomb assesment damage so he looked at the pics...

Big fan of the F4 Phantom. I have searched all over the internet but haven't found anything on a F4 crashing in that area. I'm going to email some websites, some the members know where each plane is or at least it seems that way.

By buddy who lives in Chatsworth and works for the Forest Fire Service said he didn't hear about anything. Said he was out most of the weekend but usually hears about stuff that goes on. Sorry I couldn't add anything else.

The right lane definitely looks like Joe Amato's Hi-Jacker Alcohol Funny. The last year he ran it was 1978, in 79 he switched to Alcohol Dragster. So dating the pic to 1978 is dead on. Also Joe Amato might have been my favorite racer of all time, awesome-down-to-earth guy who knew how to run...

Haha, you're right! I threw the switch for a couple of years here at Atco. I'm sure we have crossed paths at some point. Keep in touch. Oh yea, the poles in the bar, I have no idea what they are for? haha:rofl:

This is a guess, but its a Vega in the far lane and a Monza in the near lane. I'm guessing that might be Joe Amato's Alcohol funny car in the near lane. That is a complete guess from the top of my head.

Awesome pics again. I love the old funny cars. I might know one of them, I 'm sure we will figure it out. Now I have to drag out my old pics from Atco from the early 80's. Hey AJ we will have talk, maybe we know each other? You are welcomed anytime here at Atco Raceway, even though you work...

This is Atco Raceway as of today April 18th, 2008. I noticed the starting line is now set back further. I always think that not a lot has changed down here but after looking at the picture there has been many changes.

Thanks a lot for posting that picture. From the looks of it, 1978 is probably pretty accurate. It's a pair of funny cars for sure, just wish I knew which ones. The old starter's box was between the lanes at the starting line and the guardrails were set back so far! Plus they are using the old...

Wow, how about that! A picture of the field being built. This website is amazing at times! I remember when that pizza place was Branco's, but that wasn't all that long ago. Being a car nut, I love seeing the old cars in the pics too! I think you said you have some pics of Atco Raceway...
