Pauch Racing Open House 2025
(DeBlasio #5 Unveiling)
July 20th, 2025
Pulling in off of Rt 519
I got there a little early for a change...
Lots to look at inside one of many out buildings... Booths set up inside by EMMR, ARRA, and FSHS
The Liedl #L
I doubt if any local racer has as many shirts... Maybe you guys have a few of these?
A steady stream of folks head into the event.
It's the original!
Heading inside the main race shop...
BP3's #15
...saw this one hanging on the wall in the main race shop.
...just a small sample of the 100's of racing photos upstairs in the trophy room
Great photo of Billy Jr, Roy and Billy

Here's Larry with Mike Mahaney
...The Kromer's and the Barricks
...at 1pm, Billy made his entrance in the DeBlasio #5
Billy climbs out to a large awaiting crowd... (Billy said it wasn't as easy to get out of as it used to be!)
Billy addressed the crowd... and thanked those who made the #5 a reality. It was a moment that meant a lot as Billy recalled winning more races at Flemington behind the wheel of the DeBlasio #5 than any other car.
Those who had a hand in making the #5 happen....
...and a few more...
The Pauch Family
"Scotty did it... AGAIN!".... That's artist Scott Kania, who did the lettering work on the #5.
Billy with long time fan Ray Riffinburg
Tommy Kosch and daughter, with Billy and an original door from the DeBlasio #5
Much of the work in building the #5 was done by "Big Artie."
A very enjoyable day provided by "Pauch Racing!"
Thank you to Barb, Billy, Billy Jr and Mandee!
