From 2013 until last year I had kept scrap book material in show boxes, one for each year 2013-2019. For some reason I just didn’t have time to get them caught up, so glad I saved the material, like programs, advertising flyers, schedules of different series etc.
I also had many pictures from each year on my computer in files titled Racing 2008 and up, and those were put in smaller folders within those years of shows I did, Late Model races, CVM and OSCAAR Modified.
I took pictures from my computer, put them on a USB stick, went to Staples and had them printed off and put in chronological order.
Since I didn’t have a computer to do that in my early years, I just redid the books making them organized like the ones I have today. Surprisingly though, I did take lots of pictures in the 70’s with throw-away cameras, and was able to have some to put in scrap books. Early years had less material and less pictures but got better as years went by.
Hear is a picture of my scrap book collection, all caught up. Inside the books up until 2007 are 3 ring note books with all my stats, and a story of the night. The rest of the write ups and stats are on this site, Diary of a Season 2008 to 2020. You can get there by going to Message Board and then clicking on General Chat.
In the 3 ring note books in the older scrap books are write ups and stats of each race.

Conclusion
I would like one day take copies of every race from 2008 to 2019 and put them in the scrap books for those years, as back up.
That will be a big project but I could do it. I guess copy each race event, put it on a document and print it off….not too hard, maybe tiring though lol.
The reason for different colored books is that some are 3″, the black and white ones.
The one yellow book is for my 50th year, as close as I could get to gold.
More to come.
