Speedway Park

This is a reposting of an account posted by Kenny Campbell on the FB forum Remembering Albuquerque Speedway. I don’t know Kenny but just think it’s a neat story and like to preserve any New Mexico race, track, shop, club history wherever I can.

My hero, Al Demaree.  Larry and I were best friends and Al sold me his 1946 Ford coupe for $300.00 in 1959. Al was a great teacher and I learned a lot hanging out in his garage. Lots of great memories. He always called me Mr. Kenny. After l blew up the flathead he helped me put a 283 Chevy V8 in it, he was “The Man”.

1974 Yamaha GTMXA

I spotted this photo of a restored Yamaha 80 exactly like my first motorcycle. Below is my daughter Sydney on mine about 20 years ago. I still have it (the 80 and the daughter).

One more photo, my grandmother on the bike about 40+ years ago. I love that motorcycle.

Fabulous Hudson Hoon-It

My 14 year old son Vaughn’s latest obsession, a Hudson bodied drift car. He’s a pretty cool kid!

Another hens teeth Triumph at Ace Classics. This one an ultra rare purpose built American dirt tracker.
