Friday Night Lights! Joe ran this car on Friday nights
at Nazareth, along with 100 other cars. This should be 1975, maybe 76. |

This car was made from Joe's street car. He was in tandem
with two others
and it was based on the Frankie Schneider paint.
Not only did Joe have a 57, but so did my father.
There was a 2a - Ken Stryker, 2b - Joey and a 2c that was 'The Sarge' -don't
really remember his real name. They all carried the same paint and wheel
colors. Not only did Joe drive a car that carried the paint scheme, there
was a time that Frank brought more than one car to the track on Sunday and
Joe would drive it also.
My dad flat towed the car to the race track in his '72 pickup with me and my
twin brother stuffed in the back with all of the tools and tires. Although
it was close on a few nights, he never had to leave it up there. (Sarge
did..) The best was when it rained or was real cold on the way home - what a
ride for especially for him in the car driving behind the truck.
The car was competitive, and no one could believe that it went as fast as it
did because it was so heavy compared to the rest! They often made him tear
down looking for something but there was never anything to find. One other
thing I remember about the car is that it had "283 Cu In" on the hood like
all the cars did back in that time.
After talking with Joe about the photo either our brother Dave took it or
the only other person was Bob Taylor of Flemington who did the lettering on
his early cars until my brother Kevin took over that job from Bob.
The picture was taken in our neighbors driveway, and our house was in the
background. Just a few feet out of focus was the patio where he and my
father worked on the car literally under the shade tree with a chain hanging
from the biggest branch.
Once he took this car for a ride around Flemington and was visited by the
local officer who lived a few houses away. He reminded him that the car was
no longer legal for the road LOL! |

One night my father blew the clutch in his pickup. Joey
fired up the car and pushed the truck home via the Late Model from Nazareth
to Flemington. We went through the Easton toll bridge and my father
threw the money at the attendant while screaming NO CLUTCH.
'The Sarge' was Jeff Sergeant.

This picture was provided by John Menzak in a pile pictures
he had laying around. It's interesting that it is painted by Bob Taylor
because he is one of my friends. He told me that he once painted a car for
Joe. I can't wait to show him this pic... |

Address of the photo was 45 maple avenue in Flemington. That
was our family home address, the car is parked in the neighbors back yard.
Photographer was David Inglin. Dave told me tonight that he took the photo. |

This was Joe's first ride. I remember it well. As his aunt,
I often traveled to races with the family. Not only to see Joe Jr. race but
his dad, Joe Sr. as well. Those were the good old days. |
