I WAS COMPLETELY DELIGHTED WITH THIS WONDERFUL 3 DIMENSIONAL DISPLAY OF AL TASNADY SITTING IN HIS 1937 FORD STOCK CAR WITH THE BACKGROUND OF THE N.J. STATE FAIRGROUNDS GRANDSTAND AND RACE TRACK. I WOULD GUESS THAT THIS PHOTO WAS CIRCA 1948 OR 1949. I COULD VERY WELL HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE SPECTATORS AT THAT RACE. WE USED TO WATCH THE RACES FROM THE SMITH AVENUE AREA OF THE FAIRGROUNDS RACE TRACK, OFF OF KLOCKNER ROAD. DURING MY TEEN YEARS, TASNADY, ROCKY DINATALE, PEPPER CUNNINGHAM, AND OTHERS WHOSE NAMES ELUDE ME, MADE A DEFINITE IMPRESSION ON US IMPRESSIONABLE TEENAGERS! THE NUMEROUS HISTORIC OVERSIZE DISPLAYS DOTTING THE PARK THIS YEAR WERE SIMPLY EXCELLENT. KUDOS TO WHOMEVER WAS RESPONSIBLE. I ALSO DIDN'T FAIL TO NOTICE THE "HOLLYWOOD" TYPE "HAMILTON" SIGN ALONG ONE OF THE PATHWAYS. ALL THAT WAS MISSING WAS THE MOUNTAIN!
