Story and Photographs by Roger Rohrdanz

On November 23, 2013, a reunion was held at the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum presented by the Auto Club of Southern California. The reunion recalled the special moments from Orange County International Raceway. Operating between August 5,1967 with “The Last Race” on October 30, 1983, “The County” raised the bar for all racing facilities. Located near where the Golden State and the 405 freeways cross, it is generally under what is now The Spectrum in North Orange County, CA.

If you weren’t there, you missed a great event. The very lively audience included, Harry Hibler, Cory Lee, Jr & Tommy Thompson, Gas Ronda, Del & Chuck Worsham, Bob Muravez, Art Carr, Randy Walls, Bill Shrewsberry, Larry Bowers, Glen Menard and many more racers.

Thanks for the Show!
