Turkey Derby - Day One
Wall Stadium
11/29/13
Lowrider. Marty Van Drutan had the former Gil Hearne ride back in tip top
shape after Hurricane Sandy had other plans...
Every racecar has a story... We found this on the back of the Barker Racing #6.
El Herbert's cool Vega
Original Bobby Malzahn car... Almost track ready.
Good turnout of vintage cars thanks to the Garden State Vintage Stock Car Club
(GSVSCC).
Former Dorney Park car - If you're a Dorney Park guy and want a great vintage
project, this one is available...
It's all there.... Give Ed a call at 732-679-O725 and he'll give you the
details...
Some may not know it but Frankie Schneider won the first feature ever
held at Wall Stadium. He will be the Grand Marshall for Saturday's
Turkey Derby event.
Too cool. (The weather and the #1!)
Inside the GSVSCC Museum located behind the 1st turn - Plenty to look at and
plenty of heat!
A little later in the morning, folks start to make their way around...
Great looking Pinto bodied racer.
Great to see Sam of "Sam's Racing Stuff" on the job.

Somehow the turkey made it through another Thanksgiving without an invite to
dinner...
Anthony Sessely, who has been doing it the dirt behind the wheel of his TSRSS
305 Sprinter most of this year, was right back in top form on the asphalt.
Wonder if there was a Black Friday special?

I heard there were close to 40 Legend cars on hand... Some made the trip all the
way down from New England.
Talk about a racing resume at all levels, that's Charlie Langenstein working on
his son's #7 Legend car.
Good young racer and somebody to really keep your eye on, Austin Langenstein
tries to keep warm like the rest of us prior to the start
of the Legend feature.
An early "360" in the Legend B Main, wasn't enough to keep Steve Smith from
transferring to the main. (Thank you for keeping it lit Steve!)
"Hey".... It's Uncle Sy hangin' on to the roll bar...
Diving into your work....
Pit stands are pretty packed as the Sportsman Feature hits the track.
Good crowd on hand considering it didn't get out of the 30's all
day...
Spotters take their place
...as does videographer John Filimon
It's time to go racing...
