02/25/03 Ed Duncan Norm Kidd in Don Jones' car at Old Bridge 1959
02/25/03 3-Wide I thought the way JONES was written looked familiar...
03/01/03 Russ Dodge Don Jone's orange 54L was always a strong running car. I only had an opportunity to see it run on its infrequent visits to Vineland Speedway. Usually early in the season before Old Bridge and the other northern tracks got into their regular racing schedule. The car appeared at Vineland once in 1959 with Jim Delaney driving it on that visit. Norm Kidd brought it back once in 1960. I recall it as having a Lincoln motor at the time. Real nice picture. Thanks, Russ Dodge
02/26/07 George Pavlisko Norman Kidd also drove the XL-1 for a short time. Mr. Dodge should be able to verify that.
06.22.12 Jay Thompson  I was in high school and went to Old Bridge and Wall just about every week.  I used to go with Walt Jennings and his #52 modified. I remember the 54L driven by Norman Kidd very well although it didn't race every week.  Also I remember a Saturday night at Wall when He did drive the XL1 it didn't turn out very good as the car exited the track very quickly it hit that huge post that was at the end of the fence Don was not a happy car owner that night.  Also at Old Bridge I remember him Norman driving a car #707 I think it was a white 37 sedan also Lincoln powered.
