Comments:	Comment: It was the beginning of the 2nd year for the #292 coupe and Al took the #292 down to Bridgeport early in the season. He would go on to win a few Sportsman features that year at East Windsor and at Flemington. If I remember correctly, the reason the car was backward on the trailer is because the rear was a lot narrower than the front and would fit between the trailer's fenders. Pretty sure that's Al's father on the right. The question I get asked most about the replica #292 is, was the body really that high up in the back? (From this picture, we can pretty much answer that question!)

08.18.14	Brian C. Loutrel	I was at this race. It featured Sportsman and URC sprints. That's Dawn Noble's #14 Studebaker sportsman in the background - the best looking Studebaker bodied Sportsman or Modified in my opinion. Noble won the Sportsman feature that afternoon.
08.18.14	Don Wolfe	Back in the days when it just mattered to get the cars to the track. No spares or anything on the trailer, just a cool looking race car. Wonder how many racers today spend them selves out of racing with their toter homes and huge enclosed trailers ? Between paying the monthly bill for the hauler and trailer is there any money left to fix a broken race car !
