This is a group of shots from the 1960's that I need driver ID help with. Any info I have about each photo is listed below. Once again, I appreciate any and all help. Thank you. Russ

#7 - Paragon in 1966 - Jim Bob Luebbert told me he thought it was "Ken Ferrand" but he wasn't 100% sure.

#3 - Paragon in 1966 - It looks like it says "Bubby Jones" on the side but it's kind of blurry.

#X4 - Danville, IL in 1964

#7 Black & White - I think it was taken at Lawrenceburg around 1963 - Jim Bob gave me the name "Bud Detmer" but he wasn't sure about it.

Last Photo with all the kids - Lawrenceburg again around 1963 - Jim Bob thought this one was "Tommy Mattlin" but again wasn't 100% sure.

White #7 Photo looks to have been taken at Lawrenceburg. Levee and Seagrams Distillery in background. I thought first of Bud Detmer. But, now I'm not so sure. I'll have to study it a bit more.

I would go along with Kenny Ferrand in the yellow 7 car

I think the X4 might be Ray Crippes out of Illinois.

It says Danville, IL on the hood. IIRC, Bubby is from Danville.

last photo is definitely Tommy Mattlin. 99% sure the #7 is Bud Detmer PS...to illustrate how old I am, the little blond kid standing on the trailer on the far left of the group photo is Tommy Mattlin's younger brother Joey. Joey is a year older than me!!!!!! LOL

The #7 is Kenny Ferrand from Greencastle In. He and two other men built the track at Putnamville. He always ran Ford engines. The name on the hood was the Ford dealer in Greencastle. He ran the 500 lap sprint race at Eldora many times. He removed the engine from his wifes station wagon to put in the racecar one time, they are no longer married.
