I just shot pictures and never kept records.. Now I am trying to identify a bunch of old negatives that I recently discovered in my closet...
The photo below was 1969 at the Reading PA Fairgrounds, and I believe it was at a URC - ARDC Sprint and Midget Special show (maybe the Bob Wilke Memorial). I know the driver is definitely NOT Earl Halaquist, who often drove this car, because I have a photo of him on the same strip of film in his regular George Nesler #2.

At this point, the only thing I'm sure of is that I was there.
I went back and looked at both images at full size magnification. Driver in the 27 has the size and posture as I remember Halaquist. Also, the driver's suit would appear to be pale blue. I remember Earl often wore a blue suit, but it sure looks like he has a beard. Now on the #2, I noticed some letters on the helmet, beginning with a "W", and the #2 has a cage. When did Nesler put a cage on the 2?
Maybe I can figure a way to post a portion of the full images on here if that would help.
