| Comments: | Here is a pic of the DD at Nazareth, I know it is not that good. It is from slides, and got hit by the heat. He also ran at Flemington in the Sportsman's. Let see if anyone knows who he is? I know John Mc knows who he is.... Thanks Tom Kocanowski |

| 03/13/03 | John Mc | Yea, I know who it is, but I won't say. One hint, though: His car # was his initials. He used to come to my house w/ Jimmy Palko to hang around my dad's garage and help out. Thx, JMc |
| 03/13/03 | 3-Wide | John - Help me out with a year here if you remember. Also, another visitor sent me a shot of the artwork he had on the rear of his car which was right in line with your P.S. comment. As as soon as I find it, I'll post it. |
| 03/13/03 | John Mc | Probably around 1978. He was from Hillsborough, pretty friendly w/ Don Church....John |
| 03/19/03 | John Larsen | Who could ever forget Dave Durcacz. (Not sure of the spelling). Always a nice clean car. |
| 01/27/04 | John Arbruster | P.S. More interesting trivia: he warmed up @ Flem one night w/ a DD bra hanging from the rear bumper (unknowingly, of course!)......... |
| 01/27/04 | 3-Wide | Take a look at the next picture of this car (go back and then select the 2nd photo of the #DD and you'll know what all the fuss is about! |
| 08/11/06 | Dave Derkacz | WOW! What memories that brings back for me! Hey all, it's great to find this site! I only found out about it recently from Bob Ringen, who bought the car from me around 1979. The 70's was a great decade for dirt racing, especially at Flemington. That was my "home" for many seasons of racing, and I made some really good friends along the way. I appreciate the photo that Tom Kocanowski submitted. Unfortunately, he died at an early age a couple of years ago... I know I have more old photos stashed somewhere, and as soon as I can get them, I'll scan and submit. And yes, I'll also comment on the other pic as well. I still haven't found the one who attached that bra on the car, but I have a pretty good idea! ;-) |
| 08/11/06 | 3-Wide | Thanks for visiting the site. We'll see if we can find a few more pics of the #DD. Sorry to hear that Tom passed away. He sent the photo to us sometime in early 2003. |
