Bill Spade Paul Degl, aka Bill Spade shares his racing career with photos from Islip and Freeport Speedways.

1935 Chevy "Humpback" with a 340 cu. in. fuel injected Chevy on a 1954 Chevy chassis. 1st year at Islip Speedway in 1969.

Same Coach with the "Hump" gone in 1970 at Islip Speedway.

It looks like I stretched this photo, but I didn't! This real low 1935 Chevy Coach had some new colors. The fans nicknamed it "The Hearse" It had a 350 cu. in. Chevy motor on a reversed Scout Chassis and ran at Islip Speedway, New York

This is the same car as above with a Big Block Chevy Motor and back to the familiar turquoise color with gold leaf #15.

Same car with an experimental 400 cu. in. small block Chevy with dual carbs. "It ran Great, till it continually blew head gaskets" Thats Jim Hendrickson on the outside in a Pinto Modified. Bill wrote, " I Won this time, for a Change"
