I googled the name of George Janoski yesterday and much to my surprise I discovered that he had passed. When I was a teenager back in the 50's George rented a room from my mom in Fl. I went to Connecticut last year to look him up (hadn't seen him in over 50 years). Just curious why no one has mentioned his passing on this website. He passed on Jan 12, 2008. He was Modified Champion at Stafford Motor Speedway in Stafford Springs, Conn. and also a hall of fame member of the New York State Stock Car Association. I am sure he will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

i remember George driving the # 40 car at stafford on the dirt in the 60's..he was a very good driver and a legend of his time...I was a young kid in them days but i remember him.. I also remember them guys towing there cars to the race track with no trailer.. Flat towing it they called it..Guys like George made the sport what it is today..God Bless you George and thanks for the memories. Bobby S.
