| 06/2606 | Todd Lewis | For a long time John Trauger lived above the garage where Bob Burket housed the 27KC , WOW WHAT A GREAT GUY I WONDER WHAT HE IS DOING NOW? |
| 06/27/06 | Andy Horne | IN 1974 I WENT TO JOHN IN THE PITS AND ASKED HIM FOR HIS AUTOGRAGH. HE
GLADLY GAVE IT TO ME. I TOLD HIM, NEXT TO MY DAD, HE WAS MY FAVORITE DRIVER. HE TOOK OFF
THE JOHN TRAUGER #32 BLUE AND GOLD JACKET HE WAS WEARING AND GAVE IT TO ME. HE WAS THE
NICEST GUY I EVER MET. THE LAST I HEARD HE WAS DRIVING A TRUCK OVER THE ROAD. NOTICE THE MACK BULLDOG ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR. |
| 06/27/06 | 3-Wide | John Trauger was an excellent driver and I remember him as being a very strong runner right around the '74 season. His coupe and this Gremlin really stood out with the large #32 on the side. Can't remember what car it was, but I think John may have picked up a ride in someone elses car for a while. |
| 07/03/06 | dsp | John is happily retired now, still living outside of Lambertville. He spends most of his time now in his garage playing with his street rod pickup. |
| 07/20/06 | Glenn Grafton | During the 1970's I rented a garage bay outside of Pennington NJ in a building owned by Artie Polenz, the father of the late Rich Polenz. John also rented a bay in the same building where he kept his modified, the Diamond T. It was a John Burnett car if I remember correctly. John was a real nice guy and gave me many tips on painting the collector cars I was restoring at that time. |
