Mr.Tom Ames, Pa believes the driver of the #60 is Mr.Bob Johnson and he spotted Mr.Mike Burdett with the crew......sincerly Ma
correct Mike is the one second from the left and yes the driver is Bob Johnson..... I'll reveal more of the crew, but we will wait a bit to see if anyone else knows the rest...lol trivia is good,.
This must be at Woodhull? People have asked me since I started racing there if I was related...the answer would be no. These are the first pics I have seen of him...very cool!!! signed...the other Bob Johnson

While I'm thinking of this, I was talking with Bobby June about Cuba Lake and he told me about this time a young guy was trying like a son of a gun to get somebody at Cuba let him drive their car. He went from pit stall to pit stall with no luck...no one would give him the time of day....his name? Jim Hurtibuse
One more...found this awhile ago...thought it was awesome! Port Royal w/ the big cars....
Now THAT is a cool picture. It's definitely up in my top 5 of nostalgia pics that people have posted.

That may be my all time favorite racing related photo.
The World of Outlaws show at 5MP in 1979 was the first trip to New York State for them. Lynn Paxton out of PA was the race winner but all of the heavy hitters were there. Paxton was on top of his game then .
