06/29/05	Ned	Just look at the difference in the three cars in this picture. Today, you wouldn't see the other two cars, because the inside car would mask the other two.
06/30/05	Tim Weber	We used to go talk to Vince every night after the races. He would tell us about back in the old days when he ran in the Carerra Panamerica with some of the big dogs back in the day.
06/29/05	Fred Menschner	The one and only Vince Canazarro...Back in the 70's Vince would come over our garage in Chambersburg and help us fix the 21..Wally marks was helping us at that time and he would ask Vince to bring his front axle repair tool so we could save time getting ready for the next race..Also Vince would come over to my garage in Morrisville and I would give any old tires he wanted,he didn't want any new ones.. I believe the tires on the car in the picture came from my 21 when oille butler was driving fro me....Thanks Fred.
06/30/05	Warren Wetzel	That was good old Vince Cannizarro. Did you know that he had an old metal lawn chair for the seat? Those were great days - Thanks, Warren
07/01/05	Earl Krause -- AARN	I was honored to get to know Vince Cannizzaro in the No. 41c coupe. I was honored to get to know him during the 1978 season, when I was the weekly race results writer for East Windsor Speedway. He was a wonderful gentleman, in every sense of the word, who was there every week at the track because he LOVED stock car racing. Sadly, I was there on the Sunday afternoon that he had his fatal heart attack during the consolation. I recall that he competed at Windsor in themid-1960s when the track first opened with a white coupe No. 41c (it may have been the same car he ran in the 1970s!). His race-driving nickname was "The Flying Baker." Back then, he drove in the Modified division, although he car had a smaller Sportsman engine. I also remember that his nephew, Carman Cannizzaro, competed at East Windsor during 1978 in the Sportsman division. He drove a dark blue, Falcon-body car, which I BELIEVE was a former Barry Schenck A or B mount. Keep up the wonderful work. That's what your site is all about -- bringing back those special memories!
07/01/05	Mark Yaple	"The Flying Baker" Vince Cannizzaro from Trenton, NJ. Vince passed away doing something he loved, racing. It was during a Twin Twenties Small Block show in the fall of 1978. I remember it well.
07/07/05	Jerry Hart	We're gettin old 3 wide/when was the last time you saw a whitewall pony tire?
07/07/05	3-Wide	I'm not sure, but I think Carter was still President!
07/08/05	Rick Shive	This car was kinda the sportsman version of Wally Mark's #1,except this one's a lot older.Same color scheme(red primer with a white roof). I remember that the front radius rods consisted of pieces of pipe,flattened out on each end,with a hole drilled through and bolted right to the frame,no rod end, no nothin'.Vince spent the whole night at the track with a big smile on his face,loving every minute of it. Nobody ever had more fun racing than this guy.
07/09/05	Larry Jendras	Back in the early 50's, a Vince Cannizzaro travelled with the American Stock Car Assoc. down to Maryland and raced at Lanham Speedway and Ritchie Raceway. A scoresheet I have from Ritchie (which was near Glen Burnie, Md.) on May 13, 1951 shows Vince in a #31 finishing 5th in the feature behind Frankie Scneider, Wally Campbell, Ken Marriott and Johnny Grubb. Do you think this is the same guy?
07/09/05	Bob Becker	2 good stories about Vince: I think it was Joe Hall that found out it was Vince's birthday one night. Vince was on the pole in the heat, Joe got behind Vince in a hurry and blocked everyone from passing him. Til the day he died, Vince thought he really won the heat. Vince hated wearing his goggles, and I have very fond memories of Tom O"Rourke, and all the other EWS officials watching him go on the track with his goggles. Once out there, he would put them up on his helmet and drive without them.
