We have many Big John Mazmanian photos that we would be happy to share! As my husband Steve wrote, Big John was a larger than life figure to us both in stature and as a personality. During our lunch with him wherein we celebrated his 80th birthday, he was so full of life and stories from his racing days. It was obvious that racing was a HUGE part of his life - what kept him going. Our last words to him was that we loved him and wish him good health. It was a tremendous loss to us when he passed and we visit his grave on Christmas Eve along with my father-in-law's. He will never be forgotten by this fan! As for the family members, I am sending along good wishes. Mrs. Mazmanian was always very gracious to us and even provided verbal instructions for receipes while we visited in the pits! I still make Armenian rice with raisins per her instructions to this day! My best to all of you sent with great affection. Love the new website!
