  • Old Eau Gallie driver info wanted

    Turn the clock back to the mid to late 50s and early 60s at Eau Gallie. Looking for any info on drivers Bill Logan, Gene Watson, Stan Parker, Ronnie Rood, Maurice "Hambone" Hamilton, Al Moschera and Russ Adkins. These were all coupe and coach guys at the time, no late models or early models.

    Any tidbit of info much appreciated.

    I know this doesn’t answer your request but here’s a pretty neat clip on the old Eau Gallie Speedway in case you haven’t seen it.

    Never knew it used to be called “Spinning Wheel”.

          The plumbing co. is ownwed by Alden {AL} Moschera's son Tim. Al lives in Jupiter. In town to his friends, and he has very many,..we just call him
          {prononced} All-dee. He has been a personal friend for about 30 years. I found out that he raced,.. only because he asked about a new racecar I just built,and he new way too much about racecars. I asked he how to you know the right the right questions to ask,.. one thing lead to another.
          Alden started racing in NJ. He has an album of some pictures...very neat. He is one of the neatest,kindest,godly man I have ver had the pleasure to know.

            Your comments would be in keeping with my memories of him. I know he did not get into any of the common squabbles among drivers etc. If memory serves me he sometimes stored his racecar at Happysy Palm Cove Garage. Jupiter was quite a haul and mostly 2 lane road.
