Snowball Derby History and more...

New postby Racingfan on Fri Jul 02, 2010 9:30 pm

I’ve wanted to post some of my late aunt’s old racing photos from 5 Flags Speedway for a while now. After finally getting off of my butt and figuring out (some what) how to do this stuff, here is my first attempt at posting one of her old racing photos. Thanks for the memories Aunt Rea!

This is the 1973 Snowball Derby winner, Dickie Davis. Dickie also won the 1971 Snowball Derby.
The photo was taken by Don Barnes Photographers, Pensacola , FL

Enjoy, I'll try and post some more photos soon!

This is my favorite racing picture. Wayne Sr. and Jr. Niedecken side by side at 5 Flags.

Wayne Niedecken was the winner of the 1st Snowball and the first driver to win two Snowball Derbys.

1980 (?) Snowball Derby action. You can really tell the difference between the ASA and AllPro cars.

This race has always drawn the top racers from around the country.

Great pics! That was 1980. My first Derby (haven't missed one since). Balough won in the #12 "space ship". The body rules changed the next year.
