| Comments: | Here's another photo taken at Langhorne in 1968. It say's will Cagle on this car, but I would have lost money on this one as I thought will pretty much only drove the #24. Maybe you guys will have the rest of the story for us.... |

| 01/25/04 | Jim Brewer | They always assigned race numbers at Langhorne since there were so many different cars from different tracks and sanctioning bodies. They always had lots of duplicate numbers. Generally, the car that registered first got to use the number on the car in the race, so if this is 1968 it looks like the Wright/Zautner team (from the other pic) got to use #24 and Will had to change his to #14. I think this is the same car that Will won Langhorne with in 1966. |

| 04/06/04 | Jim Brewer | Ed is correct, my apologies. Shot my mouth off too quickly!! (Which isn't new!) The rest of my comment isn't exactly correct either. I think I may be right with respect to the very early National Opens at Langhorne, but in the later events numbers were determined by time trial. So if there were two #24 cars, the one that timed faster got to keep the number. There may have been other ways they assigned car numbers but those are the only two that I am aware of. Thanks!

Hey when you think about it, it's pretty amazing that we can remember this stuff at the level we all do since it happenned some 30, 40 or sometimes 50+ years ago! I was born in 1960 and try to remember everything first hand as I don't have time to read old programs and statistics... that's why I'm usually pretty quite about stuff that happenned before 1970! |
