Hello- I have a question maybe you can help me with ? When was the last drag race held at the Hatfield Speedway? and did the drag racing continue after the circle tracks closed or did they both close at the same time ? What year did the track and drag racing stop? Thank You in advance for your reply, Paracer44--BOTH CLOSED IN 1966 (DF)

Had a modified that ran at Hatfield and Reading back in the early 60s. Del Bitting drove the 17jr for me. 17 was Del's first car #. Got alot of advice from Del's brother, Claude "Fat" Bitting. Dick you told us if we ever got it to fire on all eight cylinders for the complete race we wound win alot of features. I am now involved with the Reading Fairgrounds Racing Historical Society as one of their directors. We were at the last Sanatoga reunion. It is a joy to get together with all the oldtimers and lie about all the old stories. Dick, if you can help me, I was approched by a person at this years Reading Fair about his grandfather, Henry "Frenchy" LeClere that he said ran Hatfield back in the mid to late 50s. Any information you might have on this person would be appreciated. Talking with Freddy Adam, he could not remember this driver, but maybe you can. please give my e-mail address incase someone out their in racing land can help. Thanks for the memories.

Just saw part of the Nascar series on ESPN and briefly saw them talking about Dick Fleck. I never new a Fleck was a part of the history of the sport. Very neat to know. Just wanted to say that I am proud of your history with Nascar and proud to know that you represented the name well.

I just saw you on a an ESPN Nascar special called The Dirt. I'm always looking for drivers of the early days. I collect anything I can find from any drivers from as far back as I can go. Its so incredibly facinating to me!

Dick,
Had a chance to meet you at Ponce Inlet this year for the Living Legends event at the lighthouse. It was an honor and priveledge to meet you, obtain your autograph, and listen to stories of yesteryear. I've only recently become a history buff of racing, but have been a fans for over a decade. Thanks for making the trip down from Ohio worth it!
Sincerely,
Jeremy T. Sellers

Dick: Was glad to see you at the Sanatoga Reunion last Saturday and hope you liked looking at the album I made up to honor my Father, Tony D'Andrea. Was also exciting to see Mose Moore. It has to be at least 40+ years. I have been receiving your mailings and thanks for them. Hope to keep in contact with you now that I have all the info.
