The Trim's #25 with a wing is Jimmy Boyd, The Emrich #1 with a wing is Lynn Paxton. Both photos when Jack Gunn took KARS on the road in 1975. Any shots of the Al Hamilton 77 that day? |

Bob - The ID's you provided match up with what was written on the back of the photos (thanks for confirming). Unfortunatley, those were the only open wheel shots in the group from that day. If I see more, I'll definitley post them. |

Wasn't Opperman in the 77 then? I think I remember him getting upside down in that car at EWS. Also, the 25 was owned by Trim Gunnels who I believe was Jack Gunn's brother. |

Correct, Jack and Trim were brothers. Jimmy Boyd is married to Jay Opperman's widow. Yes Opp drove the 77 once at EWS in '75, but I don't remember him upside down. The non wing cars are probably URC before they put the wings on and before I got to Windsor. |

I remember seeing them putting the car back together in the pits after the races. Did Mitch Smith possibly drive it there? |

No dates on the photos.... On the Chevy pick ups, I'm thinking the one in the background in the 3rd photo could be anywhere from a 1967 to a 1972, so I guess it's possible that the picture could even be a little before 1968 just looking at that. Are there any other telltale signs that date the photo? |

First 3 pics are of URC cars. URC went from roll bars in 1969 (cages might have still been optional) to cages in 1970, to wings in 1971. Earl Halaquist retired from racing when the cages were mandated, he felt that the drivers would become less respectful and more aggressive. |
