I believe the #95 is Kenny Meahl. notice the Atlas Bucron right front on our Gremlin used as a loading tire.

9/2/67 was typed at the top of the previous photo.
That was Meahl's last "regular" ride in the #95 coach from 1975 before he made a brief return at Genesee (now Raceway 5) in the '80s with a coupe.

to  answer the questions  of the  451 that Sam Reakes  drove     yes  there is a connection toDutt Yanni   ,Ray Edwards  and Jerry Zollo owned the car Zollo construction was a sponsor  along with others , but the car  was  designed by Ray  and constructed and  maintained by Ray and his crew  at  Ray's shop in Cicero NY  . Ray  crewed  Dutt"s car and carried on  with the  number

Do you mean before Weedsport became a DIRT-sanctioned track?

Leo Clary's car on pit lane at Trenton in I believe 1973. I think this was the only Trenton race I went to. Has to be after the race as I was just a kid when I snapped this with my old box camera.

Another one I snapped at Trenton in 73. unsure who the Mustang car belongs to but a good nostalgic look at the very old massive fairgrounds grandstand!

Leo Cleary was in the 1972 Trenton R.o.C. with his car renumbered as #94 and finished 15th. He wasn't in the '73 or '74 events. I'm not sure about the #7 Mustang. The only Mustang in the '72 field was Chip Cregar #31. Charlie Kremer, Jr. #77 in the '73 event was the only Mustang.

yes   before  and even after  weedsport became a dirt sactioned track    ,Donnely bought it and and ran it  for a long time before he started dirt,   I'm looking for  very early 1960's thru late 1970's

I took this pic at Syracuse at the 1972 Labor Day NYS Fair Race. I think the drivers name was Sheldon.

Yup!! Ft Erie Ont. Billy Sheldon

I'm going to say 1972. Merv drove a coach in '71.
