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. Tim

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! -Corey Leigh Avid Bridgeport fan. DanLynch wrote:

Easy to believe - I'm only 37.

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 fifteen 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. Dan "Corey A. Leigh" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Not really, Langhorne was the track of its day... All the hitters raced there, it wasn't just a local track. "EldredP" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
