Can you name off those guys? Who's that guy on the ground (looks like he stumbled and fell?)   Roll Eyes

That's Bill "Hippie" McMillan on the ground...the two guys on the left are not DKP guys...the thin, bond guy is Steve "Mr Music" Likus and Sergio "Pepina" Rampone in the red tennies.

Not too sure about this car, Fabs...I don't think it had anything to do with any magazine.  I'm thinking Bud Whitfield drove it.

You've got me on that one...and I used to have that book, too.  How about a shot of Odley Campbell's Stutt Bee...one of the best looking cars of it's time.

I think it was the same car Fabs, just chopped later and the top half painted black. The pictures I've seen show the same cut down rear wings, and it's definately an oval too.
