Brought to you with site support from:






Photographer info and provider info as marked:













Pretty sure that the bottom picture (above) is of two brothers... one in the #81, and one with just the nose of his car coming into frame on the left.  (I have no idea who is in the coach on the other side of the #81, but maybe you guys can figure it out ???)

 

Thank you to the photographes/providers of the above images.

Comments welcome.

....not Elvin in the #81.  This was from around 1974 I think, and Elvin Felty didn't drive the #81 (Gremlin) until a few years later.  I wouldn't have known who was in the #81, but the helmet with the flame pattern gives it away....

Was there ever a more beautiful coupe than Gil Hearne's #12?

Somebody should build an Exact replica of it...Gil is still available to help with the project maybe?   Has to be correct and not just an old coupe with a #12 on the door...HtH

He still has the flares on top of the stacks, wondering how the filters were attached?

John my guess is he welded a smaller alum tube just inside the edge of the flair??  Anyway it is superb...That car is fast sitting still...

You guys got an extra gene at birth or something as I have looked at many pictures of that #12, from all different angles, and I never once noticed that the injector stacks have filters on top, but that the injector stacks are flared where they filters would mount. 

I hope to see Gil at the GSVSCC banquet in a few weeks so if we don't get an answer before then, I'll get one from the man himself Smile.

Jay was about 20 years ahead of the curve with that #24. Tall cage, driver back, etc.

The first is Frank Eppolite in my Dad's #00, it may well be Rich Varone in the A.

I was around 16 years old at the time so my memory is vague at best.
