Vinny, going back a number of years, I knew a guy by the name of Robby Blackmore, who - if I remember correctly - was Ray's son. It has been years since I have seen him or heard from him, though. Last I knew, he was living in Riverhead.

I can tell you that Ray Blackmore ran the #67 Bomber at Freeport, was always referred to as 'Young Ray Blackmore', and that he was listed as being from Flushing NY. More than that, I do not know.

I believe Ray passed away in last year or two. And his son is still floating around Riverhead.

I grew up with Robbie and I knew his father Ray very well. I did hear of Ray's passing. Ray drove bombers at RR and Freeport.
Saw Robbie many years ago in Flanders when I was up visiting. Have not seen or talked to him since, but I'm going to call a mutual friend of ours (from our childhood) this evening and see if I can catch up with him.
Was there anything particular you wanted to know Rovin?

I remember Ray Blackmore had a red Camaro (Grand Am Division)(Number 12) that he ran at Riverhead circa 1979-80.
