Sunbrock/Rocket Speedway

[ancrdave]

Just added an album on floridaracinghistory.com on the old Sunbrock Speedway in Orlando thanks to a few new shots I got from Marty Little... The track was also known as Rocket Speedway for a short time and may have had a couple other names as well...

1) Cool shot of George "Crash" Tidd leading Joe Riddle.....
2) The great Bobby Dawson at the wheel of John Spencer's Black Cat Special...

Great photos. What sits on that site now. I know I've heard of Sunbrock but I have no idea where it was.

Great pictures now if someone could find the Argosy magazine article abot Larry Sunbrock it would sure make a good read. Unfortunately he was not someone Florida racing fans would be proud of but he was colorful and legendary in his time.
