If you mean the blue one it's Fred DeGroot. |

I think I got them all, except for the light blue car on the outside. For those who have them all figured out, does the total of the car #'s = 905 (less the little light blue Gremlin?) |

Actually, I had the picture enlarged on my phone for some reason and I didn't see the light blue car on the outside. Not sure who that is either. |

I think I have them all except the blue one too. It reminds me of the color of Steve Christine's car #351 that ran Nazareth in that timeframe. It seems to say REST, or RISI, or maybe "'something'151" on the back. |

I included the Briggs #X15 Butch. Waiting for John Mc or Rick to confirm, but without including the mystery blue car, if I add up the 9 other car's car #'s, I come up with 905. (Does that match what you guys are thinkin'?) Maybe Sparky can rescan the image at a higher resolution and we can take a closer look at the light blue car. It's not light blue enough to be the Rissi #59, and it is a similar color to a #47 that Blaine Sadler drove, but it doesn't look like the back of Blaine's car, so I have no idea who it is..... (Maybe it was a special show/one off?) |

The blue reminds me of Johnny Kay's cars. |

I think Johnny Kay had Pinto's, and it'd probably say "Mud Buggy" on the back! |

Not sure if Ron Tobias ever ran at Flemington, but if if this was a special (non Saturday) event... maybe? Also, it might be my imagination, but it almost looks like the driver in the mystery blue Gremlin has a helmet with a yellow stripe. ??? |

That's a damn good piece of detective work, Joe. As good a guess as any. |

Ron did run there in modified at least once, and probably a couple times in sprints. I don't remember Ronnie ever being there though. |

Maybe this picture is too early, but couldn't the blue Gremlin be a Buffolino 2b |

Dom Buffalino drove a white Gremlin (mainly sportsman) in the mid 70's. By this time, he might have been driving the Clickner #32A modified at times. I don't remember him in a light blue Gremlin. Based on the folks who have thrown their hat into the ring on this, I'm thinking maybe this was a special show and the light blue car is not a Flemington regular. |
