VINTAGE SHOTS FROM DAYS GONE BY! (Part 2)

Bob “Bones” Balogh. At first glance I thought this was John Mazmanian’s Corvette, but the hood didn’t look right. In fact it’s the J&J Muffler car. Bones had quite a career driving for many notable racers. Starting in his own ‘49 Chevy Gas class car he later drove for J&J (in a variety of cars), the Mallicoat Brothers, Big John, the Safeway Sandblasting Ardun powered Willys, the Bones, Dubach & Pisano Willys and the Stone, Woods & Bones ‘68 Mustang gasser. I probably missed a few too.
I got to meet him at Byron in 2017, he was there with Isky. They make quite the pair, telling stories about the old days and greeting fans.

Thanks for the memories.

 

The original McDonald's used the same plans for the building as Tom Carvel used for all of his ice cream stores when they started out. The plans belonged to Tom Carvel being but he offered to let them use them to build their stores.
