Comments: | I know this one is a little blurry, but this Dick Taylor is one of the first racers that I remember at East Windsor Speedway. He won many sportsman features in a red and white #78 coupe. I'm not sure if he was related to some of the many other "Taylors" who have raced through the years. (Lee, Larry, Don, Harry, Rich, Art, Lee Jr, etc) |

03/05/03 | Todd L | I believe Dick Taylor was the father of Rich Taylor who ran the # 78 S&S Chassis Small Block at EWS in the 1980s. Where has Rich gone? Underfunded but pretty fast. |
03/09/03 | Palmco | Dick Taylor is not related to the
"New Egypt Taylor's", (Lee Sr.,Larry, Don, or Lee Jr.). Dick is the father of Rich Taylor #78 that ran at EWS in the 80's & 90's. I just spoke to Rich and his young son at my shop recently. He purchased a sportsman car at the end of 2002 and he will return to racing after a few years off. I asked Dick's grandson if he had any interest in becoming a third generation driver, He looked over at his dad with a big wide grin! Enough said. Racing is truly a family sport. Thanks Palmco. |
05/15/03 | RJJKSHIVE | I seem to remember this car going through or over Flemington's 1st. turn fence, maybe late 60s.Anyone else? |
05/15/03 | 3-Wide | I wasn't there, but I saw pictures in an old Area Auto Racing News Pictorial of this car badly wrecked I think of the frontstretch at Flemington |
01//12/04 | KEVIN VARANYAK | I remember Dick Taylor winning a lot of races in the mid 60"s at EW Speedway. The red and white 78 was one of the ugliest cars I ever saw but Dick could really get it around EW Speedway |
01/15/04 | 3-Wide | In a sea of coupes and sedans... this car was definitiely "different"... After watching the refridgerator boxes go round and round for the last 15+ years, I wouldn't mind somebody pulling in with a Studebaker Hawk body or whatever this was. Like I said above, when I think of my first visits to the speedway, I remember the late 60's and I remember Dick Taylor #78. |
11.20.20 | Mike Taylor | One of Dick’s other sons Mike was US
Special agent, other son Don Raced at Flemington and is a corporate
attorney. The Studebaker crash at Flemington of this car was after my dad sold it. The new owner put it into the bleachers. |
