15

This car was owned by Benny Washburn. Denny Zimmerman informs us that Ed drove the 15 (sometimes numbered 15x) several times in 1960. On another website this photo was captioned ‘Victoria Speedway”, a dirt track in Dunnsville, NY. My guess is that it was not taken at Victoria, but why someone would put that caption on it without being reasonably sure of the facts is unclear.

1961 – Fredericksburg. This was taken after Ed won the 250-lap race on October 1st. The forays of the Eastern Bandits into the South were just beginning. Photo by Bob Williams, from the Larry Jendras Jr Collection.

The Ackerman 2 was often driven by Sal Mauro, but Ed drove it to victory in the Southside 400 on September 4th, 1964. During the winter of ’63-64, Ed built both the Ackerman cars shown in the photo. Thanks to Robert C. Clock for the image and for the information.
