When I was very young I remember going here with my father (William Cunningham #86) who was a CARC member. His cars were never in the top of his class but he never missed a weekend for years. He had several trophies for perfect attendance at every race every year. I still have the old B&W photos of his cars. And all his trophies. Still have all the old rules "books" , pit passes, gate handouts etc. I started driving for my dad when I was 16 at different tracks and classes. I drove for him for several years until I started building my own cars. At 64 I retired from racing all together. But Lakeside will always hold a special place in my heart. RIP LAKESIDE SPEEDWAY

I raced there from 1961-1967 (#56 and #10). It was a great track and lots of fun.

Wow what awesome memories we all had as kids! Had so much fun watching the races here, then the park was full up bigtime also.
