Re: Old modified production/gassers photos
Yes!
I was just drawing a blank on that one. Looking at that picture again, it looks like that might be Bob Thompson in the middle behind the car. ..{plus it looks like a yellow car behind the Vette}

Re: Old modified production/gassers photos
Starting line action at Raceway Park circa 1973... Top end action same track, same era... Vinny Barone vs. James Antonette(?) at National Speedway early-1970s. M68 P.S. If this is indeed James Antonette in the left lane, then can I presume this is the same Camaro he repainted yellow with red letters that read "Yellow Fever" on its doors?

Re: Old modified production/gassers photos
Correct! I believe Schmidt's sponsored 5 or 6 teams in 1971. As a "bucks down" racer, any support is always welcome and this was no different. Schmidt's had advertised in Car Craft thier intention to sponsor the teams and took applications and I was lucky enough to have been selected. At one point Schmidts gathered all the teams at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia and had all the cars on the field for customer appreciation photo ops. Great time was had by all! The sponsorship ended in Dec 71 and sadly, Veterans Stadium and Schmidt's are all gone now.
