Comments: Let's see...  Billy O in the Norcia #81, Ace Lane getting in position, the pits at capacity, a packed grandstand, and one guy on the left who approves and somebody on the right who doesn't.  Yup, that's definitely the dirt days of Flemington!    Thanks for providing the photo Jeff -

02/27/07 Jeff McClung This was the car that made me a Billy O fan for life, this was a great year for Billy, and that was one of the last years the coups and sedans of the 50s 60s and 70s were competitive. Love those injectors!
02/28/07 Kevin Eyres Is that you Joe, down in the front?
02/28/07 3-Wide Not me, but I did have those "overhang" sideburns right around this time.  Hair was a lot longer too!

I'd love to know who the kid is giving the thumbs down to... If you look at the angle I think its whoever is behind the #81.  My guess is Ploski in the #24 as he was winning a lot of races right around this time I think, and there was a pretty good rivalry between the yellow #24 and the black #81.
03/03/07 R Wolsky What a Coupe... Definetely Ploski idling behind him.... "Ace" making his way to the 1st turn..
05/16/07 STEVE K WHAT AN AWESOME RACECAR AND WHAT AN AWESOME DRIVER. THE BILLY OSMUN & STAN PLOSKI BATTLES WERE LEGENDARY. CONGRATULATIONS TO BILLY O FOR BEING INDUCTED INTO THE DIRT HALL OF FAME, IT IS TRULY DESERVED.
