Now when the week is coming to an end, here is a chance to show everybody how good you are at putting names to faces. Some are easier than others. This was published in 1969 I think, just to help you a little.

Guys, you have the whole weekend to solve this !
I have never heard the names of nr. 11 and 12 before, but the others are "big" names.

Is 7 Connie Colitta?

I'll assume they're all drag racers? Ongias is best known on the Indy circuit, but he did a fair job in a F/C. But #6 sure looks a lot like Scott Goodyear & #9 might be Don Schumacher.
Good Job Anders!!! This is fun. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

Nr. 6 drove one of the two Boss 429 Cougars.
Nr. 7 was a Pro Stock guy, and maybe Super Stock before.
Nr. 9 is indeed Don Schumacher.

Lou Novotny ran a BB/D. That is really Super Eliminator because of the blower or the fuel I believe but.........
