This is Fred " Meatball" Orlando, A crowd favorite at the Speedways. He got his nickname because he would bring a huge bowl of pasta and meatballs to the pits for all the drivers to enjoy. This picture was taken at the Medford Speedbowl in 1946. Freddie in his later years would travel up from Dorchester almost every day to spend time with me at my shop. I cannot even describe the good times I had with all the old drivers I befriended over the years and they all would thank me for taking my time out for them, but I would say no I owed all of them my sincere thanks for spending their time with me!
