where did you live up there? what was your dad and granpas name and number? i used to go to fonda every sat nite, fridays and sundays we go to malta and utica rome. i got a bunch of 60,s stock cars pics i,ve had since i was 14. i try to get up ny when i can, but the 1000 mile trip is getting to much for this old body.only pics i have right now are in my profile, can,t get a good pic in the garage. it has been in there for the last ten years, maybe this year i,ll get it done and roll it out. i still need a nova rearend and chassis eng. steering box adapter.

At that time we lived in Chateaugay NY. Way up by the border.
My dad is Don Manning and my grandpa is Dick Manning. #7-11.
They raced all those tracks in the 60's and 70's. I've got a couple
pics of them from that time but not enough. They are one of my
most prized possesions. Got a few nascar record books from the
early 60's and grandpa's name is all through them. If you had pics
of them I'd just be tickled to death to see em'.

paul i forgot to say i remember your dad racing at fonda, later bob

Here's a pic of me showing grandpa just where to set the toe out.
This is how the car looked when they quit racing in, ohhhhh 74 or 75?

I'd love to see those pics. Got a scanner? I'd gladly send you some
moolah $$ to have someone scan them.

I watched Richie Evans race at Oswego speedway in his modified #6.
My favorite car there was Jim Shampine's super modified cause he
always ran the #8 ball.

I was really too young to remember dad racing but he always said he
was fast. Of course we ALL say we were fast but, i've seen a few trophies.
