09/14/05 Hemi Andersen I'm in my 66th year now.   I saw Billy race as a teen driving out to Nazareth from my home in Bergen County, NJ.   What a treat to find these pictures.

This picture of Billy Tanzosh has to be an early one as the cars he drove when I saw him in the late 50s and early 60s were powered by what appeared to be GMC cement mixer truck engines and had 5 Rochester 1 barrel carbs and an exhaust stack for each cylinder. His dad owned the Cement plant across the street from the old Nazareth track so engines were plentiful, I would think. 

Billy had some fierce battles with another famous Nazareth resident, Mario Andretti in another Tanzosh sponsored car the #7, a Hudson Coach. (Picture of Mario and Hudson attached)
01/26/06 Bill Hanna Billy still resides in Nazareth and is doing quite well. Just spoke to him a few weeks ago.
