Hi Rich, wondering here... I know a Joe Fiore back east here...
Big-time into restoring 'vintage' open wheel race cars... and darn good at
it too.
Let me sit in one of the old Parnelli Jones Silver Crown cars (circa
1962-64)
he had just finished restoring once upon a time at Lime Rock Park
when I screwd up enough 'courage' to ask if I could.
and I've got picture proof. ;- ) Nice guy, that Joe.
- his sister 'was' / is scorer for the URC. Can this be the same family
?
I'd be willing to bet it is... Joe must be 65-67 now sister prolly
younger...
It seems ever'day we lose more of'em...
regards , Dirt Track Doug

Today I read in the paper that Frank Fiore had died. I doubt any one here
knows who he was, but when I went to work at the airline in '65 he was
pointed
out to me right away. Frank was a lead mechanic at the Line Maintenance
Facility
at SFO. And Frank had driven at Indy. For years after I went to work there
Frank continued to own and run an Indy car at the Indy 500. The really big
time. My shop steward had a 270 Offy powered sprinter he maintained for one
of
the foreman. But Frank was part of the 500. I don't think just regular guys
still run in the 500.
He was a hero to a lot of us. RF
