The 7 is Ron McClure and the 16 I'm pretty sure is Cliff Pierce-----
This is a pic of Dutch Hoag on pit road at Langhorne in the 69 National Open. I took it with a small Browning box camera when I was a little kid. If anyone could add info such as the order of finish and how Dutch did I'd appreciate it. He was always one of my favorites. Jackie Soper was also a huge hero of mine. Did Jackie ever run at Langhorne and how did he make out?

Dale,
If that's Dutch (and I believe it is), it can't be 1969. I believe your pic may be from 1965 or 1966. Dutch won Langhorne for the Turner Bros. in 1967, but I think they had the "periscope" mirror on the roof that year. In 1965 or 1966, the #18 coupe looked like your pic. Dutch drove his own #7 and won in 1968 and his own #7 again in 1969, although he dropped out in 1969 due to no oil pressure. Turned out to be a faulty gauge. He was 2nd to Hendrick at the time he left the race. The other possibility is that it is 1968 and Gary Reichert was driving. Gary did drive the car (the one Dutch won with in 1967) in 1968, although I think it was renumbered #78. He (Gary) lives in my neighborhood and told me that he timed a second faster than Dutch had in 1967, but it wasn't good enough to make the race. That's how fast technology was changing back then.
The thing I remember about Gary Reichert and the Turner brothers was the modified / super they ran. Ran with the modifieds, took off the outer body and ran with the supers. Quite successfully as I recall. The super crowd was not too happy about that.
Anybody have a picture of that?
I think you're right on it not being 1969 in which case my father, Norm, probably took the picture. I had some on slides that I scanned and I think those are a couple years earlier than the ones I snapped. Wasn't there some controversy one year that some people contended that Dutch qualified one car but ran the other nearly identical one in the race? In any case he was always one of my hero's growing up around racing.

At the Oswego reunion, 2010
Is that a restored original of the Turner Bros 18/78 or a reproduction? Looks like the original to me.

99% sure it's the original, unless the owner did a Rip-esque perfect reproduction.
