| 08/07/05 | Ned Stites III | Joe - This is the car my dad sponsored. His name is on the trunk and passenger side. Someone must have one of Frankie in this car from the other side. I know he ran at Vineland, Allentown, Middletown, and Nazareth with this car. He took me around Vineland in it. I sat on the rollbar - What a thrill at 7 years old. |
| 08/07/05 | 3-Wide | Ned has been a great help to us here in the Vault. If anyone has a picture of this car showing Stite's Ice Cream painted on the side, please let us know as I'd like to find him a picture. Thanks in advance Vault Visitors. |
| 09/04/05 | Todd Lewis | Good Picture of the infamous # 2 and one of the GREATEST DRIVERS TO EVER WALK THE PLANET!!! I never had the thrill of seeing Frank in his prime but I did get to see him in the cockpit of his # 2. |

Love the 3-2's and the flex pipe headers ... classic stuff. This is the car
that I first saw Frank running up at Middletown in 1960 or 1961. He was
running second to Bob Malzahn in Cope's #1 for most of the race, a 100
lapper as I recall. It was about 13 at the time and besides seeing TQ's
running at the Teaneck Armory I'd/we'd not been to an oval track other than
our go kart racing in FL-NJ-NY. My father who raced at the Nutley Velodrome in the late thirties, said "That's Frankie Schneider in the #2!" when we arrived at our seats. I had no idea who any of the drivers were but he knew. He told me to watch that #2 ... and sure enough he was right. Malzahn won that day with Frank after him all the way. Those two names have stuck with me as favorites ever since. I've not seen pictures of this car 'til recently on 3-Wide ... lots of years between seeing that particular #2 car. I never saw this coupe again ... the next year Frank had his #2 flatback '37 Ford sedan that dominated things at Middletown. The season after first seeing this #2 we attended the area tracks weekly until 1964 when Otto Harwi, Jacke McLaughlin and Dee Dee Kruger died. That took something away for us for many years. |
