will kick off the 1973 season at 5-
Mile Point Speedway May 5.
The ‘‘m-s” will run a 30-lap
feature and the late models a 20

will precede the features.
The Broome County quarter-
mile clay oval is the area’s
oldest continously operating
track, having run regular
Saturday night programs since
its opening in the summer of
1950.
Promoters Art Bonker and
Gordie Cunningham of
Binghamton, have, announced
that the modified-sportsman
and late models will share the
Saturday cards throughout the
season, with race time at 7:30
p.m. A special holiday program
is being planned for July 3.
The best way to come to truth
is to examine things as they
really are, and not to conclude
they are, as we fancy of our-
selves, or have been taught by
others to imagine.
