  1. I like those Gary B shots. I want to set up my car on the front like his, these shots would help.

    .....'Roy, 'I've told you before, please let us know when there are familiar faces in the pics. Yeah, Spike, Roy's in pics #1 & #3. He's the "kid" peeking over the shoulder of what looks like Anthony Simone(???) (with the Tognotti's Auto World T-Shirt on) and the other guy with the First National Bank hat on. And also Roy, the guy that's on the right front in pic #1 & #2 is Gary's old buddy, John Stagnaro from Stockton (CA). Did you know him??? And isn't that Anthony Simone with the Tognotti's shirt on?

  24. Does anybody remember a "Shorty" Jenson from Iowa? He took photos and film back in the 60's, mostly with the IMCA.

    Hey can anyone help me? My name is Michael Benjamin. My grandfather Harry C Benjamin raced sprint cars i believe back in the 50s through the 60s even the 70s i believe. I would love to be able to get some pictures of him racing if possible. He use to drive the number 0 with the words THE OUTLAW on the wing. If anyone could help me out that would be great. Thanks
