~ Suzy 0 ~
The Suzy Cars raced out of John Geng’s DePauville, NY Mobil Station from 1959 to
1963 at Watertown Speedway. The team boasted (3) cars, the Suzy 0, Suzy 2 and Suzy 3
driven by Larry Aubertine, Huey Connant and Gary Reddick respectively. Aubertine drove
the Suzy 0 to consistent finishes, Connant was a highly regarded competitor at both
Edgewood (Alexander Bay) as well as Watertown Speedway, and Reddick soon ws
fielding his own V3 cars which he rode to spot in the Dirt HOF. The Suzy 0 (according to
Glenn Rarick of Bow Tie Speedshop as well as Mike Hayslett) had a good engine, Offy
Heads, multiple carbs, etc. and was a good runner, Mike remembers it showing up at
Evan Mills with an injected flathead to run against the overheads. David Stoodley, author
of the ‘Legends of Watertown Speedway’ remembered the cars as ‘Highly competitive’ but
recorded no wins. Regardless, the car is a 1934 Ford 3-indow coupe, and although it
looked rough when we purchased it, now it looks like a Cherry. That needs to ripen…
Plans call for a Flathead with Aluminum finned heads and a throaty camshaft. This will
be another nice old original Antique Stock Car for our collection.
