It's an ear ring what can you do

 

LEE, I figured....thought I'd stir the pot. I'm an old fart that means old school, in my day ear rings were for girls. I'm sure he is a heck of a race driver, I just don't like his ear ring. (how do I put a smiley here).....Denny Z

 

Stir away. I don't get the ear ring thing either. By the way that's Steve Buckwalter with ear ring, he's a hell of a drivers and he got the feature win.

I got introduced to the Cagless Midget Thread by Denny Zimmerman....what a great site with lots of neat pictures. I hope tht I can contribute with some ARDC pictures from the late 40's early 50's

Great childhood days had me traveling as a youngster with my Dad who was co owner of the Lataille-Miller Offy driven by Johnny (Viola) Rice and later by Charlie Eithier.

Back in those days they were 7 nights a week including tracks like Candlelight Stadium, Bridgeport Ct, Cherry Park, West Springfield, Menands, Rinebeck, West Haven, Freeport, Lonsdale, Civic Stadium, Westboro, Danbury.....and more.

Glad to be a member of this site.

RacingRay, Welcome to this site, waiting for some interesting posts. He's also on the other two sites folks. He's got tons of experience. Denny Z

 

Welcome aboard, RacingRay. Gonna love seeing some of your pics! I've been in touch with the daughter of George Rice almost weekly. Between her and photographer John DaDalt, I was able to get enough info on George Rice to nominate him for the National Midget Auto Racing Hall of fame, and he was inducted this pasat January.

 

I ownder if that August 10th race at Middletown won by Roger Bailey, in a car owned by Rowland -if I was there that day. I remember Roger winning the race during the fair in a # 68 - believe it was dark blue & white.

 

John, thanks for posting the programs. The Joe Barzda #33 is the car I have...now if I could find a photo of the other side of the car!

 

John Evans, thanks! More program covers for my .jpg file.

 

About the only difference that I can think of might be that he had "California Speed" + on the right side of the cars hood.

 

I'll have to contact Ralph Laino, down in Florida as far as program covers go. He sent me a bunch of covers, and I took photos of them with my digital. Since I'm kind of a "Dufus" as far as posting photos here, and since I can't copy and paste the ones I have, if anyone wants me to e-mail them - ee-mail me at: ygordad@yahoo.com and I'll send them to you, as an attachment.
