Larry, a former NASCAR driver from New Haven, CT., was an avid fan of car racing and a stunt driver with cars and motorcycles -He competed in one Nextel Cup Series event in his career. That came in 1952, when he raced at Langhorne. Starting 39th in the forty-four car field, he fell out early due to overheating problems. Shortly after, Larry was struck with Polio which was nearly fatal to him. As Larry had a fighting spirit, he eventually recovered, but not fully.
