These slides were an EbaY find,
images made by an unknown photographer and rescued for a very reasonable price, considering the going rate for similar collections these days. I've butchered some of them to give someone who might know the subjects or vehicles a chance to identify otherwise obscure individuals. There are a few duplicates and one—for sure (and maybe more)—missing, all due to my defective file system and FotoTime's disaster, which took plenty of useful information with it when it collapsed and evaporated. This first image was apparently made two years earlier, according to program entry lists and race reports. |
