Belvidere, NJ. I hung out with Earl Howell, owner/driver of the Limited Sportsman #29. Jay Beers shared a building with Earl Hoyt who was also had an excavation business. He had the Shandor 13 there one winter when he drove that. He also built the 10 coupe in the new building he and Earl built that was across the 7th street from Earl Howell's place. Jack Coulsen kept his 25 and the following year the 22 at the Bend Mobil, his sponsor. on Water Street I would hang out when the Jack was there. Brad Dalyrumple had a sportsman car #20 Falcon for a short time that he kept on Wall Street. Wayne Laucious kept his ATQMRA 3/4 midget at his body shop on Greenwich Street. I hung around with Wayne; my Dad and I went to the races with him. Pop even towed the cars a few times. Dick Lynch kept the 99 sportsman that Steve Christine drove at Shoemaker and Lynch Used Autoparts just out side of town off of Route 519 in White Township. I would ride my bike or walk the railroad tracks out there to hang out (walking the junkyard was a plus). Crane's junk-yard was on the Belvidere-Martin's Creek road just across the river in PA. Chet kept the 02 that Billy Tanzosh drove there, He also had the 71E that Carl Van Horn drove in the early 60's slumbering in the junk yard. It is now restored. And, other than my ill-fated Figure 8 car that was under construction when Nazareth announced that the class was dropped, that is it. Of course, after I got my license, my roving area incressed. I had the time of my life hanging out and crewing for Jim and Billy Ramm from Columbia.
