Don Kranz is 2007 member of the Oswego Speedway Hall of
Fame.
Don Kranz has probably taken many pictures that you remember
from the last fifty two seasons at the Oswego Speedway. Don was
on hand for the first International Classic in 1957 and hasn’t missed
a season since then. He has always had quality help with different
areas of the track over the years but he has been fortunate enough
to capture most of the great action shots for over five decades. As a
staff photographer for the Palladium Times in the sixties and
seventies, most of his pictures were on the Monday night sports
pages for two decades of Oswego Speedway racing seasons. As a
tribute to his long standing career as a photographer at the
Speedway, Speedway Press featured some of Don’s most
memorable photos each week in a special ad in the weekly Eagle
program during 2007. Don can remember the days of having to go
home to develop a picture and bring it back to the track to decide a
photo finish for the evening’s feature race. With today’s technology,
Don and his staff can shoot Victory Lane shots and print them out
with race night-specific borders and have them available for teams
in a matter of minutes. Every issue of the Oswego Eagle that has
been printed over the past forty four seasons has had photos in it
from Don Kranz and that was seven years after he started shooting
his first pictures at the Oswego Speedway.
