| 11/13/05 | Ned Stites III | I think that may be the #10 on the trailer. On my first visit to Nazareth,
Otto in the #10 became on of my favorite drivers. I always was glad to see the #10 or #999
arrive at the track. I can still see him coming out of the pits in the #999 at Flemington
and stopping in front of us in the grandstand. Those were great moments! Ned |
| 01/01/06 | Patrick | The Championships and most of the wins came in the Number 1. not the 10 or the 999. |
| 01/07/06 | Sherrie Dornberger | Some of the championships came in the 999. I have the trophies from Nazareth to prove it! Therefore, if championships were won..obviously wins would have come too. I hate to disagree with Patrick whom ever he is, but I feel as though I need to do so. |
| 02/02/06 | Ralph | Otto's Championship at Alcyon Speedway in Pitman, NJ came in Sonny
Dornbergers's #999. Otto raced the #1 from Easton other years at Alcyon but had the most success in the #999 at Pitman. |
| 03/25/07 | Dick the Welder | I have to agree with Sherrie Dornberger about races won. And Otto always
had Great admiration for one of the greatest of all times car builders and engine
builders. If they were both alive today and of course in there 20s They would be on top of
the NASCAR pile as the guy's to beat. When John Cramer wanted to build the 999 again Otto
told him that Sonny would have to be the one to build both the car and the engine. And so
the car was built. Dick the Welder (Yelsits) |
