P.S. Is that Beserko Bob standing by the U.S. 30 sign? Sure looks like it to me.

Don't know the track, but is that a very young Joe Lepone standing behind Jenkins on the other side of the car?

Think you're right on Lepone...but I'm going to guess that's Niagara Dragway in NY. They had a "hot car" lane off to the side...just where the Vega is parked...I think?

I don't see the building that would show up in photos taken in this direction though....Across the street was an Air Force base...and the building was part of it...so I'm not sure?

One thing I AM sure of...is that I've got one of those Chevrolet racing jackets worn by the fellow in the background...think I got it from Berger Chevrolet...about that time.

I'll be DAMNED if it fits me today....HA HA HA!!!!!

In reference to post # 39 &41
My guess on the guy in the driving suit behind Grump is Jack Trost. Jack had an SRD P/S Vega. The Trost family had a body shop near Malvern that did most of the paint work for Jenkins and always did a great job in a short amount of time. They also did some work on Trans Am Camaros for a guy named Roger something from that area. Lots of experience with "thin" metal.
