The 49 isn't Rob. As of this era, Clarke was in a Street Stock.

Maybe Sharpie91 can give us the nod if someone got a right answer?

Most excellent. Now, if anyone happens to have any hometowns or knows what some of the home tracks were for some of these guys, please feel free to let us know.

Ok, so here's a couple more. We'll do a few more LMs, then we'll put up a couple of event shots. I'm tickled to have a few shots that show what the facility and pits used to look like.

But for now....guess who.

The 80 car (was 60) is Wayne Monk from Windsor.
Is the 50 Jim Lucido from Michigan?

Correct.

Most of the pics will be familiar to most. But memory lane just the same.

Anyone who spent any time at Delaware in the 70s knows what an epic find this photo is.

And again for the SLM fans:

Mallat wasn't the only Vette around. This one came out of the woodwork for the odd big show at Delaware too. Difference between the two is that this one still looked like a Corvette.
(This pic might be of interest to some of the guys over on the Barrie board.)

There were a couple of 35 cars. Who's this?

The #27 is Barrie's Joe Belesky who ater won a Barrie title and who I believe is current Barrie Thunder car champion Jim Belesky's uncle.

I think that the driver of the 35 is Wayne Keeling and that the car owner is Harold(?) Lawrence.

Well I can confirm Statsman is correct on the 27 car. I was pretty sure it was Joe and I already confirmed it with the Polish Prince himself.

Regarding the 35....I'm not sure thats Wayne or not. Yes, Keeling drove the 35, but there was a couple of 35's. Sharpie is the guy who knows for sure which one this is.

Thats Wayne Keeling in the 35 for sure
As I remember he was pretty fast in that car.

Either we have some die hard race fans or some old programs helping out. Guessing great fans.
When I found the 79/76 pic I was pretty happy. Awesome pic! What a great family and team to compete and hang with.

27 Joe Beleski
35 Wayne Keeling

Well, Statsman is pretty hardcore...especially where Barrie cars are concerned.

And it sounds like Jimfromwindsor knows his stuff too.

The guy in the 76 SS was the first race car driver, aside from my relations, that I ever met as a little kid.
