Reading Fairgrounds - 1959 |
The following pictures are from Reading 1959, some from the opener and some from the Johnny Thomson Day celebration in September. Johnny Thomson Day was the second such fan celebration of one of its eastern drivers. The first was a day for Tommy Hinnershitz, in 1956 I believe. - Jim Nise
 This I believe is the March opener (#1) the field ready for warm ups. Joe Barzda walking to his #33, Chuck Arnold about to get into the #3 Caruso Offy to the left and Dick Linder in the Vargo #7. Dick would be killed at Trenton the following week. Nise Photo |
 Van Johnson by the #2, Tommy Hinnershitz getting in the Pfrommer #4 and Rex Easton in the Red drivers suit to the left of Van Johnson Nise Photo |
