I believe the #95 is Kenny Meahl. notice the Atlas Bucron right front on our Gremlin used as a loading tire.
My Dad, Norm Welty, with an STP win at Dundee in the Novice division. The whole family was decked out in those STP red windbreakers by seasons end! circa 1968.
On second look that 's Chemung Speedrome.
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
why cant i find any pictures of weedsport before dirt , or even after dirt they are extremely hard to find , i grew up going to weedsport on sunday nights watching of course Sam Reaks, We willy, fireball Roberts, Jack Murphy, Frank Podolack and more
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.
