Thanks for posting this. It's been many years since I thought of Stan The Man. I loved those races. I was there almost every Saturday night and wednesday night.
It was great watching him coming in for the checker flag, three abreast with Jack Speedy Monahan in his red 57 chev, and Don Dames in his 57 ford. No one in the crowd was ever sure who was going to be the winner. Good times - Good memories.
