gary gerould made time trials very exciting,when wayne sue took the clock in this car,he was always making faster times every week.one bad super modified.

If I'm not mistaking those are Weber side draft injection only a few where ever made, Tomasello had a set Pete Dalla in the Dalla Bro's #22 car had a set, and someone back east had some, they sure looked cool.

Looks like Suzanne has her hand full...

I was there that year, too! I clearly remember him throwing the wheel out! I'm glad someone else remembers that!

Looks the Gold Cup at West Capitol to me. I was there, Pombo led most of the race in the peat bros. car but suddenly pulled into the infield directly next to where I was standing. He was pissed...the steering wheel came loose during the race and he threw it out the in disgust! I have lots of SJ Sppedway pics and West Capitol taken from various races during the late 60's and well into the mid-70's. What a great era that was! Larry.

This is such a great picture! My daughter is doing a paper on Dick Atkins. He's my brother her uncle It's always nice to find more information on him.

Run what ya brung, thats what I'm talkin bout.

This car is the former Agajanian REV 500 Special #98 that Dick Atkins won the 1966 Golden State 100 USAC National Championship race at Sacramento. The car debuted in 1964 with Parnelli Jones at the wheel with the Offenhauser engine. The Ford DOHC engine was put in the car for the 1971 USAC season.

This photo was taken in practice before the October 25th, 1970 100 Mile U.S. Open Competition race at the (old) California State Fairgrounds at Stockton Blvd & Broadway. Jimmy Gordon, chief mechanic on the car at the time, Leonard Faas, Sr., and car owner, Hayden Harris decided to run the ill-fated race without the wing.

'You're right, it is Jimmy Sills' but his rookie year was 1973.

Is that Tom Henry on the outside?

Hi....Photos do not appear on screen. I am on a Mac, so that may be the problem....would very much like to view your photos. I produced the program for the event and had very few midget photos. Assuming I do the program next year, I would be interested in connfering with you about the usage of your photos in the program.

Yep, that's Mike Zine in the #20 Lloyd sprinter alongside Nick Rescino in the #96 Super.

i think the # 20 is Mike Zine.

You're right, upon further review it does look like West Cap. I should have recognized the old wooden seats from pre '72!

second thought it is dirt may be West Cap

looks to Me like that may be Stockton
