| 05/21/05 | Ned Stites III | If you look in the background Al Tasnady's 44 is on Sterling Lerch's flatbed. He had recently purchased the car from Neil Williams. There was a huge dent in the rear window that that they pounded out. |

| 05/21/05 | Bill Skinner | I don't think there is any doubt Al Tasnady won the most features at Alcyon. I'm not at all an authority on the early days of Alcyon, but from 1953 through 1960 Alcyon had 172 features, and Al won more than 20% of them despite missing all of 1955 (when he raced at Vineland) and parts of other seasons. From 1953 through 1960 the big winners were Al Tasnady-36, Jackie McLaughlin-23, Ed Lindsay-14, Ralph Smith-12, Budd Olsen-11, Otto Harwi-10, and Freddy Fehr-9. (None of these fellows won any features previous to 1953 to the best of my knowledge.) Before 1953 the big winner was probably Johnny Karp who retired after winning 7 features in the 1952 season. Thanks. Bill Skinner |
