I see a lot of guys posting GPL sightings, so here's mine. It's at the
K-Mart in Langhorne PA. To further aggravate the initial kick in the
stones of price, this is the K-Mart they leveled the famous Langhorne
Speedway to build.

Heck I saw Nascar Racing 1 (the original one without even the expansion
pack) in sale for 79.95$ two years ago in a computer store! I actually told
the manager if the price was correct, and he confirmed it.  I just told him
he's full of pants ;)   (okay not really, I just put the title in the low
aisle.  Yet they had Nascar Racing 2 for fourth bucks next to it. <G>

        Original complete box?  Could have been a collector's item.

        Go look up some out-of-print games on ebay sometime.  You'd be suprised
at the prices out there for originals.

It may have been mentioned here before but Office Depot has it for $4.95.
Ask a sales person to scan it because on the shelf it shows to be $20.

I cannot believe that you never heard of Langhorne.  It was the place to
race, back in the fifties and sixties.  It was leveled in the early 70's.
The stands from the track are now at Bridgeport speedway in New Jersey.
One of the turns at Langhorne is still there behind the levitz store!!!

Those are the stands at Bridgeport????? Wow! I thought those stands
looked a tad older than the track..... :-) I didn't know that, but
that's pretty cool!

Easy to believe - I'm only 37.  In the early 70's the only racing I was aware
of was the Indy 500...<g>

Well, I'm only 29 going on 30, but I grew up in Langhorne so my Dad had
filled me in on all the tidbts from Langhorne.

Everytime we go to Bridgeport he brings up the trivia question about the
stands.  It is getting old after fif*** years of hearing it.

One of the storys about Langhorne is that it had a 1/8 mile drag strip also,
and the shut down was real short.  Well my Uncle and Father ran a car there,
my Uncle drove.   He crashed in the shutdown area, and lost a shoe in the
accident.  They never found the shoe.

Anyother little tid bit is that the lights at Englishtown Raceway Park until
recently were the lights from one of the the Worlds Fairs someplace in the
US.   I don't remember where, he didn't tell that story as often.

Not really, Langhorne was the track of its day...   All the hitters raced
there, it wasn't just a local track.
