Bill Enters at Old Orlando in 1965
Bobby Gill, in what I’ll always consider Joe Gaita’s ride!
Jeff Scofield in a scuffle with Jeff Choquette?
Say it isn’t so!
Having trouble with an 08… I’ll get back to it later.
This is Bryan Osgood, in a Camaro with an Honest-to-God vinyl roof. I saw him win an Amalie Pro 350 at Lancaster Speedway about 1973 in this car. I thought the vinyl roof was painted on, until I saw it up close.
Leo Cleary in a Joe Brady owned Pinto. Both of these guys should be at the upcoming Reunion.
Leo has a few hillarious stories involving dentures. I’m gonna make him tell one of them at the Reunion… it’s a story that will have you doubled over and in tears!
Mostly known for driving #9 cars, this is “Barefoot” Bob McCreadie in an early Asphalt ride, owned by the Price Brothers of Watertown, NY.
His son, Tim, is a former World of Outlwas Late Model Champion, a Chili Bowl winner (in his first attempt in a Midget), and drove a few races for Richard Chaildress Racing. The apple didn’t fall far from the tree in this family.
Billy Yuma in his 08 Super at Oswego
Can’t forget Ollie Silva, in one of his high-tech creations. As ugly as his car always were, he could drive the wheels off of them, and won hundreds of Features in New England. Ollie passed away a few years back.
Maynard Troyer in an Oswego Super that he designed, built and drove. This was the initial outing for this car. The driver from here on out was Dean Hoag, son of the great “Dutch” Hoag.
The late John Draucker, former URC Champion…
Here’s one for Tripper and Haudfan… Jan Opperman, in Speedy Bill Smith’s #4x that has been restored and placed in a museum.
Here’s a couple more BIG 4’s… Big Jim Fenton in 1973 and Big John Sears at Michigan in 1970…
The great Bob Tullius From Sebring Fl.
Former Truck series star, Rick Carelli
One of the all-time greats, Dutch Hoag
One of my favorite pictures from Reunion day… this is me, my Mom, Dutch Hoag, and Ron Narducci. This was taken just seconds after my Mom signed Dutch in, and says “Dutch Hoag!!!.. we used to hate you!” All in fun, and worth a great laugh!
Can’t forget “The Pine”, the late, great, Jim Shampine
Wisconsin’s Pete Parker in a wild wedge-style Late Model.
Pete was a Speedweeks regular for around 20 years, but has since retired. I still miss seeing the number 10 car in the pits in February. You never knew what the color scheme was gonna be, but guaranteed, there would be Pete in the pit area.
