Created by a quartet of members from the Binghamton Automobile Racing Club, this site bills itself as a repository for “photos and stories from East Coast sports car racing in the ’50s and ’60s,” and true to those words, that’s exactly what you’ll find there.
Inside, it offers four distinct categories: Race Tracks; Drivers: Race Cars; and BARC History, and under each of these headings is offered a variety of choices for photographs and information from events that took place at tracks along the Eastern Seaboard from Watkins Glen to Sebring and back again.
The BARC Boys of the site’s title, Joe Tierno, Dave Zych, Steve Vail, and Dave Nicholas, were youthful acolytes of the Legendary Ed “Spankey” Smith back in the day, and together they chronicled the scene that is now memorialized on this site. It’s a fond reminder of the days when every aspect of our lives was enjoyably free of the countless complexities that tend to impede our progress now.
Consequently, even though it does provide various research opportunities, this is a site where you can spend many hours doing nothing more productive than simply remembering when. Check it out.
