.... running a little short on original black & white images (we only post images where we have the original, or the original image was provided directly to us by the photographer, collector, or the current owner of the original image and we try not to post stuff that we've already featured), so here's a few color open wheel shots for you all.

All images below from photographer Terry Shaub, made available to The Vault by The Ed Shaub Collection:

Kenny Brightbill in the Wergland car. The crew member to Kennys right worked at Foodtown in Flanders on Rt 206 and he saw me with a racing T shirt on one day. Whenever my mother went shopping there, I would talk to him about racing. Years ago John McCaughey hooked me up with his name and number and I actually spoke to him. I hope he is doing well, he has to be in his late 80's by now. They had Carl Bergvist as their driver at that time and they ventured to Eldora where he lost his life.
