In fact I had a crush on his daughter Terri. Joe and Dad, Pat McNear and sometimes Lloyd Asbridge, used to go to the old Irvington Dragstrip in the early to mid-sixties. I got to go sometimes when I was lucky. Pat raced a 55 Chevy 2-door wagon there as well as a Pontiac Tempest and a 4-door 55 wagon. But that's another story or two.... It was only natural that Dad, Joe and Pat would end up stockcar racing too. All raced at Playland. I think Joe raced from about 1969 until 75 or so. Pat moved back to Florida where he raced until very recently. Joe is the nephew of a famous area racer, Carl Lilenthal. Click on the images to make them larger.
Joe is looking for pictures of powder puff racing. Specifically a picture of the #60 standing on it's nose next to the starter stand. Vi was driving! I don't remember how she got it into that position, but it was standing on it's nose for what seemed like a couple of seconds, kinda balancing there before falling back onto it's wheels.

Maybe
a few of you were able to visit with Joe at the 2003 Reunion. Joe
Daub was a buddy of my Dad Al Franks. Joe and his wife Violet, Vi
to her friends are longtime friends of the family.
