15

This car was owned by Benny Washburn. Denny Zimmerman informs us that Ed drove the 15 (sometimes numbered 15x) several times in 1960. On another website this photo was captioned ‘Victoria Speedway”, a dirt track in Dunnsville, NY. My guess is that it was not taken at Victoria, but why someone would put that caption on it without being reasonably sure of the facts is unclear.

1960-10-15 – Pinecrest. Ed is on the left in the dark coupe with the white steering wheel. The J2 driven by Red Foote and Slim Ross’s 222 ‘Bounty Hunter’, usually driven by Joe McNulty, can be seen at the back.
