A Weekend Question: Race Drivers or Race Cars Near Your House/Other  

I've mentioned this before that I grew up right next door to Chic Ronan on Monmouth Road (Rt 537) just outside of Jobstown, NJ. Chic owned/drove a limited sportsman from 1965 thru 1975.  Irv Emery (Emery's Garage, Rt 528, New Egypt) did all the work on our cars (Mom  and I) in the 60s and 70s.  Since Irv's garage was only about 15 mins. from my house, I would stop in even if he wasn't working on our cars. Chances were better than not that you would see Bobby Rossell, Frank or Larry Myronchuk, or even Pee Wee Griffin  at Irv's garage.  For awhile Gil Hearne worked for Irv so you were guaranteed to see him.  Since my Mom was good friends with Augie and Virgina Moschera, we would see them frequently, as well as their son Jackie, and son-in-law, George Idell. I recall that George ran a limited sportsman for a short time.  Don't remember the year but Al Tasnady was getting apearance money to run New Egypt (may have been called Fort Dix Speedway at the time) on either Wed or Thurs nights.  Augie supplied the hot rod which was a blue coupe with a red and white striped top # S-1a.  Was never a fan of Tas until I had the chance to talk to Tas at the Moscheras before heading to New Egypt/Ft Dix. Rooted for him after that. Also spent alot of time at Cal Mowrey's Exxon (corner of Rt 206 & 68, Bordentown).  Cal was a good friend of Chic's and also a limitied sportsman racer. Cal ran East Windsor and maybe Flemington in his red and white #7c coupe , which was a former Statewide hot rod.  Scott Ely
