Scary wreck in photo #1. I'd hate to be the guy standing in front of that car! Might be a fair track as the inner fence looks like the inner rail at most horse tracks. Photo #3 a young Bob Rossell. Photo #5 Parker Bohn at Old Bridge? |

Driver in photo 1 is very lucky that the chain link fence bracing pipe did not impale him. I recall an incident in the early 70's where a car hopped over the hub rail at East Windsor just at the start of the front stretch. The bumper and front wheel popped thru the fence by about a foot or less dislodging one of the horizontal braces. Jones had a welder onsite Monday morning to weld together all of the bracing along the entire front stretch to strengthen it. Cost a pretty penny, but that prob never recurred. There are many tracks today with "loose" press fitted fence braces. I am surprised that the insurance companies do not required welded fence braces. |

As a follow up to the picture of Les Farley with the #808, I received the following original Fahey photo from John Fahey, and the following additional information: "Here is my 1963 photo of Les Farley’s A808. This photo is the same car in this week’s Tuesday in Black and White. This car was red which was unusual for a Bubby Walters owned car."
