    An old one!

    Here's one from the archives of racing that my dad informed me on:
    Herarah Ronaldo (spelling?) in the 10 cent car, early 60's @ Riverhead. From what I understand, he owned many juke boxes on the North Fork, and back then a song was 10 cents a play, hence his #. Can anybody confirm this?

    His name was Renaldo Herrera and from what I've heard he was a hairdresser in NYC. I don't know who owned the juke box 10 cents, but "Ronnie" Herrera did drive the car; so did Joe Konopka and Mousey Kempster, if memory serves me correctly. By the way, Herrera was a top notch "chauffeur"!

    After a Modified main event back in the early 60's late 50's Me and my cousin Mike where first at the starters gate after the race and they let the two of us ride in the car (10 cents The Juke Box Special) for the victory lap with the checkered flag. I had a newspaper clipping with a picture of the car during the lap. I lost the picture when I moved to North Carolina. Any body out there have a picture of this car It was a 32 Ford Renaldo Herrera was the driver. Thanks Bill

    That defiantly was the driver , but there were several versions of the car the one we were in was a Black cut down 32 Ford body with a T Bird engine. I don't remember where I got the clipping from it was either a local Riverhead paper or a Stockcar racing newspaper . Thank for your help and I'm going to check out the rest of the pic's Bill C
