Senior Moment From Russ Dodge: Respect!
The "Old Master"
Frankie Schneider on the inside, "Mr. Modified" Al Tasnady on the outside,
doing what they did best, putting on a thrilling wheel-to-wheel driving
exhibition! An active discussion on the 3wide message board recently about
3wide contributor Ned Stite's dad sponsoring his business, Stite's
Take-Out, on Frankie's car, brought about this Senior Moment. It should be
noted here that the Stites ad appeared 2 years later on Paul Deasey's "Big
Donkey" and "Gypsy", 707's driven by Tasnady. |

02.11.12 | George Perkins | What great pictures, the shot from Nazareth is unbelievable. Sadly, trust in one another and racing that close seems to have gone the way of the coupes and coaches. Nowadays it's bump and run or just drive through somebody. |
02.11.12 | Marian | I agree with the last guy. This was real racing. Today I call it sissy racing. |
02.13.12 | 3-Wide | I've learned not to try to change people's mind so I'll just say that I like that guys used to build their own stuff and the rules were open enough to allow for a lot of ingenuity... and the cars also were a lot more dangerous. That being said, there's nothing "sissy" about today's racing that I can see. I watch guys like Billy Pauch and Jimmy Horton climb into their machines at New Egypt every Saturday night and do what they do... and a lot of words come to mind like "determined", "brave", "focused",..... But not "sissy." |
