Original Message

"Pops" Gibbons was Joseph Kelly's step dad.  Pops was one of the many 50s-60s racers that worked at Delaval Turbine on Nottingham Way in Trenton.  Not gonna mention any names but I was told that a lot of metal tubing and welding rods somehow wound up in the building of alot of hot rods that ran Windsor and Flemington back in the day. BTW, Pops was never mentioned in any Delaval stories that I heard.  Getting back to owners, don't think Sam Battisa, owner of the SSS and 99 driven by Ed Farley and Bob Malzahn was mentioned.  I also don't  think anyone mentioned Woody Johnson, owner the 68 that were driven on pavement by Pete Frazee and Dave Hulse, and then at Reading by, I think, George Sleight.  Woody was from Birdsboro, PA.  Scott Ely
