Oswego. This car #60 is Corky Stockham, before he began publishing the National Parts Peddler.

Bryan Osgood in the #09 at Oswego. Nolan Swift built and raced this car (it is an ex-"10 pins" car).

This pic is Mike Rizzo from 1974. Although it doesn't look like it, this car used to be the colt 45 that Red Barnhardt drove in the 60s. Mike ended up driving this car at Weedsport and Rolling Wheels with the URC sprinters in 1975.

Bentley Warren drove this "Flyin 5" at the 1965 Sandusky Classic.

"The Inimitable 151". This Bingo 151 car was driven at the 1967 Sandusky Classic by Johnny Logan. I think Max Dowker built this car and it was also driven by Sam Sessions, Art Bennett, Mort Andresen, and Ken Crampton. In it's early years, the car was owned by Pete Webster, and originally driven by Nelson Ward. At that time the car was Bingo 5. John Gradentski of Vermontville built the engine. The number was changed to Bingo 151 when Sam Sessions took over the car after Nelson Ward was killed at Owsego.
After talking with John McRae momentarily in the pits after the '99 classic, I went back in the archives and found the official entry list for the 1966 classic that indeed has John McRae driving it that year.

I just had to post pictures of a couple stockers. Some Grand Rapids racing fans may remember the Speedrome before it was plowed under to make room for US131. Well, I remember very well the many nights that Dick Dunshee and Bobby Senneker mixed it up. I was a Dunshee fan - I guess I liked the looks of Dicks car. I used to tell everybody that 66 was my favorite number. And the couple of times I got to go in the pits and look inside of Dicks car were magic.

I was a Dunshee fan, but Bobby Senneker was phenomenal and went on to legendary status in the ASA series, of course.

Tom York was driving this Bob Dorsey owned, ex-Todd Gibson car at the 1965 Sandusky Classic. This blue and white upright super had a Buick power plant.

Gordon Dukes in his "road runner" car at the 1965 Sandusky Classic. This car had a 326.8 cubic inch Pontiac.

Harold McGilton with this light gold and red, 327 Chevy, #100 sprinter at the 1965 Sandusky Classic.

Joe Hylwka at the 1965 Sandusky Classic. This car was #23. Is that a strap holding the gas tank on?

What a picture! Jack Conley rolling up to check in to the 1965 Sandusky Classic. Unpainted car, spare tire in the cockpit. He raced as #26 even though it looks like the car is numbered 11. Jack's cars didn't look like much, but Jack was an engine builder from Brighton, MI, and boy could his cars go!

Jack Nichols with his red #41 super, 1967.
