| #411 DAVID CONDE, HAMILTON, NY |
| Dave relates: "This #441 was originally the Circle 22 driven by Paul Doig and owned by the Butcher Brothers (of Downsville, NY). Mel Ogden got it from their junkyard and restored it as the Circle 22 for the Midstate Club. Whenit came to ur shop my sons and I decided to restore it to Jerry Wisnoski's and also Al Larabee's #441. We obtained the original car and used some of the parts from it. The #441 was a main stay at Midstate Speedway in Morris, NY in the early 1960's. It is a '37 Ford 'Slantback'." |
| Of his second car, Dave relates: "The #20 was really #50 as can be seen if you study the 2 on the door. It was built by Lyman Howe from Brookfield, NY but he was killed before he got to race it. Bob Wisnoski bought it from the family and placed the 2 over the 5 to make it his number, 20. Bob ran it at Midstate Speedway in Morris, NY a couple of times and then parked it in his garage. I bought the car from him and put it right back in storage. Before I put it away the car was started and it ran good. As far as I know, this is one of two original Midstate cars from the early 60's flathead era that is complete right down to the air in the tires. Both cars were backed in to the garage after coming home from the races and kept in storage to this day. I have the hood and the doors still open/close, the rumble seat lid still works." |
