Photos of the past.


Harry Henning Jr. used to go with his Dad to Hatfield Speedway to
watch and dream about racing.

Harry Henning Sr., who was the service manager for Brenninger Motors
in Lansdale, would often drive the tow truck to the Hatfield Speedway.
Here he seems to be relaxing and getting out of the sun.
You can guess now where the Henning Dodge heritage strarted from.

Harry and his sons, Bill & Harry III, then got a taste of racing the summer of
1986 by entering an Enduro series that was held at the old JFK Stadium in
Philadelphia.  One of the last events held there before it was torn down. This was
their Plymouth Duster that they had put together for it. They competed in 4 of
the scheduled 5 races. Bill was the driver and Harry III was the crew chief. With
no racing experience what-so-ever they did alright. By the time the last race
had arrived they had built a really competitive car.

After that short adventure the racing was put on the backburner for a while, but the
taste of racing was implanted in their blood and would need to be satisfied again.

That need to race returned and Harry and his son Bill, along with Bill's Uncle, Jack Hagan, and a few friends decided participating would be more fun than spectating. So, 1992 was our first year racing the dirt Late Models at Grandview Speedway. We pretty much built this car from the ground up with little to no experience. Thank god our friend and chief mechanic Terry Fox had racing knowledge. (photo taken at Grandview Speedway 1992)

We didn't set the world on fire but dang, we sure learned a lot that first season and had a hell of a lot of fun. (photo taken at Grandview Speedway 1992) Many more photos coming soon.
