11/29/04 Bruce Thomas The #99 is Johnny Leach, the car in the middle is the No V7 that was one of many cars that my uncles, Bob & John Newlin had over the years.  This picture was taken in 1979.  I'm not sure about the car on the outside.

Fast Eddie Mumford drove this same car (car in the middle #V7) the following year, but with a different body on it, to a couple of wins in the sportsman class.  He was unbeatable at EWS & in the Boone 100 till something broke near the end of the race.  I remember just about everybody came over to the car to check it out.  There was nothing trick on the car, Eddie was just that damn good of a driver!
