These photos are from the mid 1960's. The larger photo is

06.02.10 | Mark Yaple. | Lee, Thanks for posting these pictures. I remember Stan and his family, nice people. I still see Legs, John Lane sometimes, and talk to Bobby every week. Later on Stan Sr. bought the #4 sedan from John Wagner and had a few top finishes with that car. |

06.26.10 | Stan Bozowski Jr. | I remember those time also. The number one, as stated, was
originally the number twenty four and nine tenths. The car was originally
found as a rusted hulk of a fifties stock car setting on the side of a
garage in south Jersey. It originally ran a straight six with the original
closed drive shaft rear. It still had the original rear when it was towed
with a large chain throw a pipe to meadowbrook ave. As I remember that was in the fall of 65. Stan Sr. was friends with a guy that had a Tulsa station on Route one and the car was towed there and built through the winter. Not having enough of one color to paint the car, several partial colors were mixed, placed in a spray gun and applied. The color came out pink. the Tulsa station was sort of the sponsor so the cost of gas became the first number on the car. The car was later painted blue with the number one. The car also became shorter and a little lighter after every on track accident. Stan Jr. flipped the car at East Windsor one Friday night and that facilitated shortening the back end. Stan Sr flipped the car end over end one Friday at East Windsor and that became the end of the number one as it was cut up with a torch the next day just so it could be taken off the trailer. The number four sedan was a 39 ford sedan with a mean ford 312 that ran strong. The sedan was red with a white number four. Stan Sr. ran the sedan for the last time at Flemington as 4 Sale. He had decided to sell the car and put 4- Sale on the car. Flemington was Saturday night. The 4-Sale won the heat and as I recall finished in the top five of the feature. The car sold Sunday morning. Lee is correct that Jr. didn't run as much as Sr. Jr. was the grunt that did a lot of work on all the race cars. I know all about that time and the cars, I'm Stan Jr. alive and well in Illinois. |
07.11.10 | Mark Yaple | Thanks Stan Jr. for the interesting story. I was friends with your sister and the guys from the neighborhood. I am still living in the area and go to the races every week some forty plus years later. |
