| Provider's comments: | So much to like... the car the hat, the other cars pictured in the background... Billy Osmun really gave the Norcia 81 a ride in 1972. So who did you route for back then - the #81 or the #24! |

| 12/20/02 | Dave | The new picture is great!... and that's the hat! He always wore that! Thanks for putting it on your site! You're right about the Dornberger #99 being a good car. I got to know Dornberger's daughter while scoring a few times and heard some stories about that car. It had so much power, the driveline was always breaking somewhere and the starters always broke which is why it had to be push started so much. That car either won or broke! If you find any really good pictures of that car it would be great also! Are there any certain cars you're looking for I might have a picture of? Thanks again! Dave |
| 04/07/03 | Glenn Crane | What a pic. Memories of Flemington with Billy O and Kenny Brenn and sparks flying between the two on the backstretch. - what a childhood |
| 04/09/03 | TOM | I believe this picture was taken at one of the first Bridgeport races. The car in the backround is of the late John Blackley. I don't ever remember him going to East Windsor (I think he was from over near West Chester) but he did go to Bridgeport when it first opened and ended his career at Grandview. thanks from Tom |
| 05/30/03 | Kevin B. | Beautiful piece of equipment, I see the 292 of Michalchuk, 44 Cozze, and the famous M&H speed truck that I remember very well from East Windsor, but this looks like Bridgeport. |
| 05/30/03 | 3-Wide | The more I look at the sand and the background, the more I think you guys are right about this being Bridgeport. I just don't remember Al Michalchuk (#292) running his sportsman car there. This has to be 1972 or 73 as Al moved to Modifieds in 1974. |

| 04/28/04 | John Reuter | When my Dad and I went to E.W.S.,and Flemington I was a big Ploski fan and my Dad liked Billy O. If Stan lost that nite, and Osmun won it was usually a long ride home cause my Dad would bust my chops the whole way home. |
