Who are these guys? #1

[Thomas E]

These photos are from my collection. I did not write any information the back of them so the, when and where are up for identification.


I know the 1st photo identifies Jeff York and maybe that's car #4(?) sliding into York.
Photo #2 ??? (#99, AAI, a H. Conklin car?)
Photo #3 ???

I think that the 22 in the third photo in the first group is Rick Salem, and the 99 in the second shot in the first group is Ernie Decroce's car. The 31 in the first photo of the second group is Sid Blanford's car but I do not know who the shoe is.

Could be Mike Gregg in Ernie's #99 in first set of photo's, Ernie bought a new Nance car and had several drivers in it. That's probably Larry Kassell in the Jim Rider #1 car, and Rick Salem in the #22. The 2nd set, I think is, Dave "Kid" Strickland jr. in Blandfords #31, don't know the 88, and I think Don Johnson is in the #39. Now I'll check my old programs and see if I can find out for sure.

I've dug out my programs, from a June 16th, 1979 "RPM" sprint car program, Colorado National Speedway. 22x is Rick Salem in Bob Salem's car, Sean Hillis in Jim Riders #1 Auto parts car, Wayne York in the Lyons Automotive #45, Harold Mainard in his own #50 car, Ron Williams in #29, Layne Wright in the #99. Now in a 1980 "RPM" sprint car program from Colorado National Speedway #1 is Larry Kassell in Jim Riders "#1 Auto Parts sprinter. #50 is Harold Mainard, #99 is Ernie DeCroce's car, no driver listed, #88 is Neil Haight in his own car (also in the 1979 program), #39 is Don Johnson in Ben Dervage's "Mile High Flyer", #45 is Wayne York. In a 1981 program I show Dave Crocker in Jim Rider's #1, Kid Strickland in #31, Wayne York in #45, Harold Mainard in #50, Neil Haight in #88, Ernie DeCroce owner of #99, no driver, Wes Worrell #4 (maybe winged car in first set of photo's, tangled with the York #45).

Let me clarify my rambling. In the 1st set of photo's, Wayne York in the #45, Wes Worrell in the #4, don't know who's in the Nance car without a wing. #99 is Mike Gregg in Ernie's car, and Layne Wright in Jim Rider's #1, and Rick Salem is in the #22. Set #2, Kid Strickland in Blanford's #31 and Neil Haight in his #88, Sammy Swindell in the FedEx car, Harold Mainard in his #50 and Don Johnson in Ben Dervage's #39. That's my best guess.
