Some of you may remember the name "Gary Easton". Well Gary's son Time recently gave me a DVD of some 8mm footage they had converted. Here is some video from the Turnpike Speedway that was located in Marion, IL:

Again, Thanks to Tim Easton for sharing...
For those of you who are on Facebook, I have a Fan Page for my work at the TV station:

I also have an album on there of some vintage pics I found in "The Southeast Missourian" from the Cape track in the 1960's and a pic of my grandpa from Terre Haute in...
My search is getting me somewhere...talked to a lady today whose family MAY have a VHS tape of 8mm footage they shot at Turnpike! I appreciate everybody's help!
Then you probably remember my grandfather's name: Eddie Stearns. He drove in the area and raced against Eaves several times! I might know some people who could convert 8mm film to DVD...would I be able to get it?
I'm looking for anyone who may have some pictures from the "Turnpike" speedway that used to be in Marion, IL where the Ike Honda Dealership sits now. I work for a television station here in Southern Illinois doing racing stories and I want to do some "vintage" stories! Thanks to anyone who can help!
