Ronnie Wallace

Fulton, NY
25.Dec.1937 - 15.Jan.2005

Oswego Speedway Hall of Fame member, Ron Wallace – One of a handful of drivers to experience racing competition in both the “A” and “B” divisions of the fifties and the supermodified cars of the sixties and beyond, Ronnie’s career is one of the longest on record, spanning nearly thirty years. One of the more distinguished of Oswego “lunch-pail drivers” Ronnie found rides wherever he could. Some led him to top place finishes, others led him nowhere. Wallace raced for twenty years until he finally found feature victory lane in 1975, aboard the Dick Rayner / Roscoe Towne No. 76 and parlayed that win to garner the ’75 Oswego Track Championship. Ronnie’s lengthy career places him among the top 25 in the All-Time Supermodified Point Standings.

The driver standing in the background, almost center, is Warren Coniam. From the archives of Tom Robichaud.	1973, I think, at the Thompson (CT) Speedway.
