Only we over 70's oldsters will recall "Lucky Teter." He was a household word back during the many Septembers he appeared at the New Jersey State Fair. I was only a little toddler when I went to the fair so I can't really say I remember seeing him. However, as I grew up, so did a guy named Joey Chitwood who did most of the same daring stunts as his predecessor. Perhaps my favorite was the beautiful "Lucky Lucy" DiNatale. She and her lovely ladies brought a certain class to the art of daredevil driving. I can still see a lovely Lucy DiNatale, her jet black hail shimmering in the breeze. All of us neighborhood guys hung out at Rocky DiNatale's "Rocky's Auto Service" on Edwin and South Olden Avenue. I remember Rocy and Lucy's two beautiful children, Janice and Ronnie. omad said...
I'm laughing out loud right now. My middle grandson was driving me down the Garden State Pkwy the other day and I asked him to slow down and said "who do you think you are, Lucky Teeter?". He said "WHO?" with a really puzzled look. For the next few miles I told him about the Fair and the excitement the drivers generated. He is a real "car" guy and enjoyed the conversation.
