Note from the photographer Paul Irving Hard to believe that this was 25 years ago!  First car...not sure.  But then we have Ricie Franz #5, Del Buss in Scat's #3, Bob Malzahn in the blue #77. Dave Thomas #19, Hank Goranson in the yellow #36, Rich Eurich #10, Bob Bottcher #97, Del George #52, Buzzie's #00 Vega, Gary Balough #M1, Tom Hager #43, Dave Kneisel #711...(No, my memories not that good - I have the other shot of this same stellar heat comiing into turn 3.

When I took this shot, there was a group of very old race fans wearing long overcoats, hat and goggles.  They were absolutely covered in dust and smiling!

03/11/03 Bill Hanna I really can't detail any of the cars in this photo other than those previously stated.  By I can state that this location, up on the hill in turn 4 was by far one of the best places to watch racing at Nazerath, you just had to make the walk up the hill to get there.  Alot of great memories of racing from this spot.
