Comment: Vince was probably already
in his 60's when I first started going to East Windsor Speedway around 1966
or 1967. Announcer Bill Singer would always spend a little extra time
on his introduction and my dad would always watch him. Vince always
had that old time look with the smaller 3/4 helmet with goggles, and from
what I remember, at that point, he didn't qualify often, but he was out
there, week after week. What I didn't know was that Vince had raced
for decades... probably going back to the 40's and 50's, prior to those days
of me watching him race at East Windsor and Flemington. I don't really
know much about the earlier days of his career, but I think he might have
raced at Langhorne. I noticed the hand painted info on the cowl of the car and did a little research and found that the Old Cedar Speak-Easy Lounge is still there.... |
