aaah, good old silver springs.. i remember when the big flea market was held there.. that track was nice, it's a shame it was bought out to build a stupid housing complex, stripmall or whatever the hell they put/ are putting in there.. i've raced at the little track in selinsgrove, the big track looks like a lot of fun, but i have yet to climb into the seat of a fullsize sprint

Yeah, the race car flea market was always huge. I remember it being pretty big in the late 80s already. They built a big shopping complex where Silver Springs Speedway used to be. I think Alan Krietzer made out pretty good on that deal. Alan owned the speedway. Selinsgrove was always a fast track. It used to have a tight exit off turn 2 which brought you up to the guard rail in a hurry, but they have reconfigured that part of the track a few years ago. That probably made it even faster. I have a friend who's son races a go kart on the small track occasionally.

The kids karts are funny to watch. I have gone along with my friend when they raced at the Penn's Creek track. Sheldon actually beat Jimmy Spencer's nephew that night to win the feature. There is always a lot of go kart stuff at the flea market. The flea market is at the Elmerton Ave. parking lot for the Farm Show complex. Since they added their new building onto the Farm Show complex they had to start using the lot on Elmerton Ave. and shuttle people down to the building. They could use an even bigger lot for the flea market. I think they are turning people away before the sun rises. This year I went on Friday night about 8:00 and left around midnight or so. I bought myself another set of 351C 4V heads.

Small world in deed. That's a good deal on the 1050.

You can make some good deals at that flea market. I paid $175 for the 351C 4V heads and turned around and sold them for $250 on Craig's list 2 weeks later. I still have 2 sets left.

i'd definitely recommend anyone in this area of the country to take the trip up.. there are tons of good deals to be had around noon-1 on saturday too.. people start dropping prices so they don't have to tote stuff home

Without a doubt it is one flea market to check out. Your right the prices do drop so they don't have to take the stuff back home.
