Comments: Comments provided by Will Rose: The picture is of the # 48 car and was owned by my dad, Frank Rose and driven by Don File. This shot was taken at the Marlboro Raceway in Maryland in 1953. I'm not sure who the photographer was.

Frank Rose is the brother of Nick Rose who owned the # 141 car that Reds Kagle ran for many years. I have noticed that most of the pictures that are in the Vault are cars and drivers who are from the New Jersey area.

I would also like to know if I could ask the viewers that visit your web site for some help in tracking down some information on my dads # 48 car. The year was 1957 and the driver was Lou Bee. They ran the car at the Westport Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland. I'm mostly looking for pictures with Lou in or standing by the car but any pictures will do. Also any write-ups or movies would be a big bonus.  (Please provide info by clicking below where it says: "Click Here", and I will see to it that it gets to Will  - thanks, 3W)
