one of them might be dessaro..........

good question might be.......... where is that track ? i dont remember a foot bridge being at a racetrack ????????

You are correct Scott, the #3 on the inside lane is none other than the late great Fred Desaro.

The pic is from a Thompson program Scott, that's about all I can tell you maybe one of our "senior" members can identify the race track.

We still have the #3 on the outside lane and the #5x to identify.

Wheels, the #3 on the outside is 4 time Speedbowl Champ Dick Dunn. Driving Fat Al's car, one of the first Capri bodied Mods. Richie.

Dick Dunn for the outside #3.

Dick Traynor in the 5x?

EDIT: shows how long I had the post open looking through pics of Traynor's cars...

Rich, you are correct the Capri bodied #3 Mod is Dunn.

Warren, you are very close. The driver of the #5x first name is Dick, but it was not Dick Traynor.

Keep tryin guys.

No Rabbit not Caso. This driver mostly ran Thompson and I believe ocasionally Waterford with limited sucess.

The driver of the #5x was listed in this paticualr issue of a Thompson Speedway program as Dick Williams.
