Comment: The Morrisville PA/Trenton NJ area was a hotbed for
some amazing modifieds back in the late 60's and early 70's.... Just a
few that come to mind are the Piscope #39, the Carberry #47, the George
Taylor #93, the Fodor #13, The Wally Marks #1, the Fred Menschner #21... and
that's just the tip of the iceberg. And from what I've heard, lots of
the guys involved were involved with more than just one car. It was
common for guys to visit each others shop during the week... Maybe to
lend a hand... maybe to keep an eye on what others were up to... But
it was a time when men worked their day job all day, and then found a
racecar to go work on all night! I'm hoping that you guys can help out with the names of the guys in the picture. I do recognize Freddy Menschner, and to the right of him holding the wrenches is Tom Carberry Sr. The fellow all the way to the right is Ralph Barone, uncle of 80's Modified driver Bob Barone. It was a great time to be a river rat along the Delaware, and no better place to be if you wanted to work on a top dirt modified. |
