New kensington had a track. Before my time, and I've never heard anyone discuss it. It was located just across the Tarentum bridge on the left. In fact there is possibilities it was a board track. I remember as a child hearing people talk about it. I have

I have seen some pictures of this track somewhere,but I can't remember where.  It was taken from the Tarentum side of the river, and the track was up on the right, across  the highway from the Hotel.  Yes, it was a wood track.

Flash I know you are from the valley and have a connection with Lou Ghia. I am 64 + now. How old are you ? If you don't mind me asking. How is Louie doing ? I make my trips back home I always go by to see if I see him.

I will be 69 next week. Louie still lives in Arnold, and looks 20 years younger than his age. My Uncle Jack, who is long deceased, was married to Louie's older sister.
