(Near where it turns to dirt) Although we knew about the ghost story, we never saw it but we did hear bizarre sounds that we attributed to the Jersey Devil. A dozen times we went "Devil Hunting" back there and heard it often. We wanted to catch it, but were never successful.

(lights still off) when asked what he was doing he said "oh, just playing in the mud" he said he didn't believe in the ghost.. and then he said "they're might be a bonfire tonight, come back into the woods." being creeped out, we left after he turned around, lights off. so we drive to this shopping center, because we really wanted to go back. okay, so we went to see this thing twice. once on thursday night, and now again on sunday night.

In later years I drove both a B/S Pontiac GTO (1964), which, by the way, beat the Royal Oak Bobcat at Cecil County Dragway in ‘64, and the “Jolly Roger I”, a Super/Super Stock Automatic (which I’m trying desperately to find some pictures of) in SS/SA. One of my continuing competitors was Bobby Harrop in his ‘62 Super Duty Pontiac (426 w/2 4’s), and we paired off for Competition Eliminator almost very single week, which I usually won. The Jolly Roger was like a freight train at the top end. The other car that would compete on occasion for CE was a ‘55 Chevy called “Mr. C”, and that car must have been revving to 10,000 RPM. I always beat it, but it hurt my ears in my car. While dragging my MG one afternoon, a competitor in my class was driving a Renault Dauphine (no kidding) and in the short time that we talked, became somewhat friendly. During what was a lunch break, I came back to find out that while he was coming back from ATCO, the town, to the track, his car was hit right on the road into the track, and he was killed. In the ensuing years, there were tales of his ghost appearing at the track, although I couldn’t confirm that at all. I don’t believe in ghosts, but I do believe in cubic inches….
