Could this have been the last #81 that Sammy drove?




Comments welcome.

Photo #5...Gary Winters in the #380 at Langhorne in 1971. I can't find a listing on the #651.

Maybe a #65 with a #1 added with duct tape?

Looks like its Ford vs. Chevy in the 2nd photo.  I recall reading years ago that the Highway Auto Body #3 sprinter was always Ford powered.  Looks like it says "John Drucker" on the hood of the #3.  Anyone know what track this is showing Gary Winters spinning?  Scott Ely

As mentioned by Steve C above, the #380 spinning is Langhorne.

All of the sprint car pictures are from East Windsor.  I don't remember the sprint cars running at East Windsor very often...  Not sure why unless maybe Don Jones didn't like them/light crowds?

The #651 was driven in 1970 by John Berkoski. No mention in the 1971 program. This photo must be from a Consi or warmups as the #380 of Gary Winters did not make the ROC in 1971

If this particular URC race was from earlier in 1979 , i was there and clearly remember Draucker rocking back and fourth while inside the car going down the back stretch doing anything he could to go faster : which i think was never an issue for John !! Always on the gas !!

There was no date info provided with the negatives. It is possible that it is from April of 1979.

According to ARRA, in the East Windsor Speedway section, "Open Wheel Results"  https://sites.google.com/view/tracks-series-organizations/east-windsor-speedway , John Drucker won the event at EWS held on 4/29/79. 

As was mentioned in a post above, sadly, John lost his life in a racing accident at Jennerstown in August of that same year.

Definitely 1979. In the 2nd URC photo, it's Hank Goranson in the 36 and Buck Buckley in the 2, chasing Gary Daneker in the 29

The #651 could be Roger Murray. I have other shots of him at Langhorne. Think he was from the Island as well.
