Curt Waters,Fred Linder, Jim Linder, Tom Bigelow*, Rich Vogler*, MarK Alderson, Jim McCune, Bobby Davis Jr., Sammy Swindell, Gary Howard, Danny Milburn, Emmet Hahn, Carl Williams*, Lenny Waldo, Bob Ciconni.
There are probably a lot more that I am Missing. I had to call Jim Simon, to verify a lot of these
It's a very impressive list , 9 Indy starters in there.

Didn't Steve Kinser drive one of Ray's Silver Crown cars at the first race at Terre Haute?

Yep, another one to add to the list.

Didn't Clark Templeman Jr drive for Ray??

Clark won a feature at Eldora in June of 1976 in the Smith Speed Shop Special. Add Tom Bigelow to the list.
Jim Morrison

Sammy Sessions 1975 Silver Crown driver

Rusty McClure, Brad Marvel, Lee Osborne, Larry Rice, Paul Pitzer, Sheldon Kinser, Van May, Bill Tyler, Bill Puterbaugh, , Larry Moore, Johnny Parsons, Dana Carter, Leland McSpadden, Mike Brooks.
Now I'm up to 46 drivers, 15 of who started at Indy..
