Photo #1 is of Augie Moschera at New Egypt Speedway in 1958.  The 2nd photo is of my Uncle Clyde Kelly also at New Egypt in 1958.  The tail end of his hot rod, which was driven by my Uncle Mel Ely, is visible on the right.  I believe Clyde's shirt says : Central Jersey Stockcar Club".  The 3rd photo is of my Uncle Clyde Kelly, cousin Buck Kelly, and myself at the Langhorne Speedway in 1963.    The 4th photo is of my mom, Ruth Ely, in Trenton Speedway's victory lane in 1965.  The 5th photo is of my mom modeling her self made "Moschera's S-1 107 shirt in 1965.  Augie was driving Pappy Smith's  107 in 1965.  The 6th photo is of     Pee Wee Griffin at Middletown in the late 60s.  That may be Richie Kolka's K-2 behind the 72.  The 7th photo is of Pete Corey at Langhorne in 1968. Photos 1,2,3,4,7 were taken by Ruth Ely while I took photo # 5.  I do not know who took photo #7  (of Pee Wee) but I'm sure it was taken by a Middletown track photographer.  I own all of these photos.  Scott Ely

Bill- Thank you for your comments regarding my Mom's photos.  The car (a 36 Chevy coupe) in the Middletown photo that I posted is not the 1st car that Pee Wee towed North in the mid 60s.  There's a photo of Pee Wee's 1st ride up north in 3Wide's "Forever Young, Nazareth" section.  This car, a 37 Ford coupe. did start out as a yellow #72 but was later painted red.  There's a photo of the red version of the #72 in the 3Wide "60s section", pg 37.  Scott
