ID help with Misc. Midget Photos
 

I've got another group of old photos I need driver ID help with. They are all midgets this time. Some are really old and I know it's a longshot, but I thought you guys might enjoy looking at them anyway. Any information I have is listed below. I appreciate any and all help. Thanks again. Russ

#32 - Nemo's SPL.- Probably taken in the 1940's at Seekonk or the Massachusetts area- Driver's last name might be "Marchand" (that's the only thing written on the back of the photo)
#15 - Packard-Bell Special - Possibly taken in the 1930's
#34 - Torrey's Tavern Special - Possibly taken in Mill Creek Canyon, Utah in I'm guessing the 1940's or 1950's
#78 - Taken at Terre Haute in the 1970's
#50 & #74 - Taken at Terre Haute in 1975 - I know the #74 is Bill Puterbaugh - not sure about the #50 - the writing on the helmet looks like it starts with a "B".

Russ,
The 50 car was owned by Bud Doty, and in the mid '70s was often driven by John Batts.

The 74 looks like Bob Willey's car.
Roger West was another who drove for Bud Doty, and a few times for Bob Willey. I don't think he is in this photo.

You're right, that's who it is. I got the magnifying glass out and I can barely make out the last name now. Thank you very much!

Russ, I'm not sure on this but the pic of the #78 at Terre Haute could be Lonnie Caruthers. I'll see if I can check that with Roy or Lonnie.
