Who drove this car?

Could it be Al Tasnady?

This edition we feature a modified from years ago. Who is he (or she)? What track? What year?

[Gravel]

Islip Speedway, some Allstar 300 race, George Wagner's carrier in the background.

[Fig8 T.K.]

Bobby Davis, Islip Speedway, around 1976

I'll go with Al Tasnady also @ Islip Speedway circa? 1974

Frank Cozze

The car was owned by the Cozze family. The Pinto body suggests that it had to have been either 1972 or 1973. Tasnady had retired by then and Frank Cozze, even if old enough, wouldn't have been an All Star League team driver. Budd Olsen is my guess as well.

Does anyone have anymore old photos, I love seeing them?

[W. J.]

Stick with us right here, there will be one a week for some time to come. We were just given a bunch of them by Mr Bob Finan, and I've scanned them all. It will blow you away when they are all put up, so stay tuned everyone.

Some will be used for the "Nostalgia Guess Who" feature, so since only JA and I (besides Bob, of course) know which is which, we will refrain from guessing. All guessers will not be notified, right or wrong, until the week has elapsed, so everyone has a chance to take a shot at it.

Sure beats shoveling snow!

Answer: Bud Olsen

Good work by those who guessed correctly!

And thanks to Bob Finan for providing the photo. (WJ)
