I was more of sportsman fan and the fields and the talent didn't disappont in the late 70s and 80s.
At East Windsor I would wonder if this was the night for Freddy Kennedy to finally get the little #89 coupe in victory lane; or Ed Czcek #21, Bob Lehrfield #735, Doc SanFilippo or Dom Buffalino in the #2b. All consistent runners.
At Flemington, I agree with Paintman about Paul Ilimeni. I'll add Glen Schwietering #80, Lou Hahn #3h, Bob Mraz #78, Bryan Quinlin #12, Dave Spurlin #42 and Kevin Kohler #66 to the list. It seemed like on any given Saturday one of them was near the front but none of them got that win.
But we cheered them on!!
