I've been compiling pictures for my project and I thought I'd share some of them them with you. Please forgive me in that a lot of these were posted in various sites without photo credits, so I'll name the photographer if I can, but....feel free to help w/ the ID's
Anyways...I'll post them as I have time throughout the winter (hard to imagine we're getting to that point).
Here's one to whet your appitite....Hoot Gibson in the #19 (guessing it was shot at Chemung...maybe by Perry Cronkrite Sr?)

Perhaps the writing on the front of the roof will give a clue as to who it is. It looks like it reads, "B. J. Special"  As far as I'm concerned they're always special....at least to me!!!

Here are some pictures from the Geroge Nichols collection that he wasn't sure about in regards to who they were.
This first one is from Shangri-La (I'm pretty sure anyways)...photo by Fred Smith
I believe that is Lou Lazzaro parked right behind it.

Rita Church was the photographer at Shangri-La in CWEGO(not Oswego) and it was taken there.

The yellow #3ny is Eddie Pennizyk(sp) who was a teammate of Pete Corey,until Pete retired.

I think the #17 is Ed Rafferty and I think the track is Langhorne.

Yes, the 17 is Cazy Eddie Rafferty.

The #2 is Graeme Bolia at Shangri La Speedway.
