| 02/01/03 | 3-Wide | I'm told that this is Henry Doerr on his side... |
| 02/02/03 | Russ Dodge | If it is Henry Doerr on his side in the 32, this could be 1956 at Vineland. The flying zero picture was light yellow and red and ran out of Stanley Morgan's Auto Body on Mill Rd. in Vineland. The driver could have been Chris Dawson or Andy Gump (Andy Sarcletti) Thanks, Russ Dodge |
| 05/23/03 | Bill Skinner | This accident was reported in the newspaper as the third of three accidents in the second heat race at Vineland Speedway 10/2/55. Chris Dawson in the Flying Zero had just been sandwiched by Larry Voss in the M-1 and Ed Forte in the 32 which caused the 32 to turn over. A few minutes earlier in that same race, the 32 reportedly turned completely over but continued to race after landing right side up in the second accident of that event. Both the newspaper account and the caption under the picture reported Ed Forte as the driver of the 32. Research shows that Henry Doerr had driven the 32 to a second place finish on 7/1/55, and that he continued to drive the car for the next two months. Ed Forte started driving the 32 on 9/5/55. Thanks, Bill Skinner. |
| 12/26/03 | Steve Elias | How many people know who Ed Forte's brother was? |
| 02.15.09 | Jim Murrow | Sorry, Steve... I just noticed your question at the bottom of the page. Better late than never - I believe Ed Forte's brother was, (and probably still is), "Fabian" |
