Palm Beach On A Sunday Afternoon

[ancrdave]

Check out the crowds in these two photos from Palm Beach Fairgrounds Speedway...
First one is from 1976, I think... Charlie Ragan (11), Jim Fenton (FOUR), Al Kuhn (88), Speedy Reeves (21), Larry Rogero (17) & Bobby Brack (57)...
Second one is '78-'79... Dick Anderson (92), Speedy Reeves (21), Gary Balough (72), Robert Hamke (74), Larry Rogero (17) and further back is Bobby Allison in his AMC Hornet (12)...

Bobby Henry's #47 next to Dickie, Paul Conners behind Allison, I think Bill Abbey is next to Bobby. Bobby Brack in the ex-Larry Detjens #125 next to Allison.

Carol, that second pic is from the 1978 Orange Blossom. I *know* I was there; I have a couple of pics from that race. Here's Bill Abbey (#29), Jerry Adema (#22), and Marshall Herring (#96). In the Jerry Adema pic, that's me hangin' on the fence in the #44 jersey...LOL
