Does anybody have or know of anybody that would have any race clippings from Tyler County/WVMS/ and Pennsboro Speedway? Trying to piece together a few things. Any information would be great. Thanks in advance.

Looking for mostly local Saturday night races that most people have forgotten about. Trying to piece together an all time wins list.
Why are you concerned with how much time I have on my hands? You must have a lot of time on your hands, worrying about how much time others have smart guy.Quote:

They'll probably direct you to a library that has access to digital archives of newspapers in those particular areas and in the date range you're seeking. (I checked and do not think that GenealogyBank.com will help you out, that's the service I subscribe to.) Ask questions, act dumb if you have to, the people there will be glad to see your interest and happy to help. Worst case scenario is that nothing will have been digitally scanned yet, then you're stuck with microfilm which is a pain in the wazoo. (I wonder if the 4m naughty word filter targets "wazoo"?)
(guess wazoo is safe... (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)!)
Thank you. I was able to find 2001-2003 through one of the local newspapers archives online. Anything before this time is extinct from the internet.Quote:

Yeah. I miss those things. I do have a few that I need to go through but not nearly as many as I need.Quote:
