Judging from the corresponding number of Ed’s car, 34, this photo of the Islip points board must have been taken in 1972, when Ed was driving the car owned by Frank Vigliarolo (indicated by “F Calabrese”).

Anecdote

From one of Ed’s most well-known and successful “students”, Pete Hamilton.

Anecdote

1960 – 12-25, from the “Springfield Sunday Republican”. I include this clipping because of its reference to Ed’s having been “probably the most unpopular driver” at Riverside in the late ’50s. I have no idea why this would have been the case, especially as there are numerous testimonials to Ed’s having been amongst the most popular drivers at other tracks through the years.

Anecdote

1965 – 06-24. This is from the “Rome Sentinel”. I don’t know why Ed was “barred”, although I would point out that in the previous 4 races at U-R he had got a 3rd, a 2nd, and two wins. The ban was short-lived, and Ed was reinstated in time for the next race, where he finished 2nd. (Click on image to open)
