Great photos, as usual! I'm thinkin' these photos were from the years that my Mom, Ruth Ely, and I were going to Wall on a regular basis in the 60s. Looks like Tommie Elliott in Matty McMann's #5 in the wall with the #97. Photo #2 shows Tommie Elliott in Don House's XL-1 on the outside of Jack Ely's #1 (no relation). Photo #3 has Dave Hulse in Woody Johnson's #68 on the inside of Joe Kelly in Dick Barney's #14. I'm guessing that Kelly is passing Hulse as Barney's sharp looking 3 window coupe with an injected Olds V-8 was a rocket ship and was nearly unbeatable. Photo #5 is again of Dave Hulse in his own #5. Dave was my Mom's favorite at Wall as he was from her original home town of Point Pleasant Beach, NJ. Scott Ely |

That crowd in the first shot is just insane. Where did it all go wrong? |

Pic 4 - Mrs. Nicol. Ran the place with an iron fist. Her way or the highway. I wonder if her and Don Jones Sr ever attended any business symposiums together? |
