03/06/03 Jim B This is Paul Deasey's Big Donkey #707 - - it looks like Bobby Pickell next to the car.  This is the Ford cammer version of the car that Kenny Shoemaker drove at Langhorne in 1968.  The first issue of "Strapped In" has a photo of this car along side the Pleasant Hill Golf (Bob Wertz) #57 on the back cover.  I'll try to do some more poking around to see if I can find out more.

03/06/03 John Mc 3W, I think that's Middletown......looks like the drive-in area back there, if I'm not mistaken. Not sure of the driver, though. I believe that's Harry Steinkopf next to them w/ the 23. It's gotta be the '60's, probably '67 or '68. Thx, JMc
03/09/03 Bill Hanna This is taken in the outside pits of the Nazareth 1/2 mile. Thats the big track grandstand in the background with cars parked all over the place. That is definately Harry Steinkopf in the # 23 next to Pickell. Great Photo (thankx John Mc) Bill Hanna Easton, PA
12/12/03 Bob Pickell Jr This photo was taken at the Nazereth half mile when the pits were located outside the 4th turn. The very first time Bob ran this car was at Nazereth and he won the feature his very first time in the car, passing Frankie Schnieder for the win.  I know, I was there.
03/20/05 Kevin Budden This particular Donkey sure looks very heavy just look at the size of those supports for the side bars, and what the heck is that at the end of the headers? great photo, Kevin Budden..
