In the image Dick Foley’s ’57 Chevy is on the far left. A moment before, it had started to get sideways, which caused both Ed in the Studebaker and Larry Frank in the white-and-black coach to take evasive action.

Ed’s car after it came to rest in the infield, in the left-center of the image. In the crash the car suffered a ruptured fuel tank and could not be repaired in time for Ed to return to the race.

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.

The Ackerman 2 was often driven by Sal Mauro, but Ed drove it to victory in the Southside 400 on September 4th, 1964. During the winter of ’63-64, Ed built both the Ackerman cars shown in the photo. Thanks to Robert C. Clock for the image and for the information.
