The late 80's at Big M was the best driver colony ever. Campbell. O'Donnel, Manzi, Davis, Pierce, Jackie, Lachance, McNichol, Fahy, Waples and all in their prime.

Agree, great bunch of drivers during that era

You forgot Jersey Joe Schwind.  Not that he was that great but we had a bunch of winners circle photos with him so we were happy.

yes, but a lot of games then, maybe more than now, just not spread as thin as butter.

Odonnell and Campbell biggest crooks that ever lived - kept it in the family

I think Michele and Herve have the best skills of all time.
God Bless you for speaking the truth about Odonnell and Campbell,you are 100% correct,not many have the guts to say what you said,do not forget Jackie Mo! Bill,John,and Jackie fixed thousands and thousands of races at The Meadowlands

Let's also not forget that Herve  as good as he was could not keep his hands out of the cookie jar when it came to race fixing.

Someone axed who wrote that article that started this thread.  That would be Meadowlands Media Relations also known as Big Dave Little.   Would expect nothing less from him stating what he thought was obvious.
