  • Need Some Help From Old Timers on These Tampa-Area Photos

    Hoping oldimers like Fenton and Abney can remember who drove these cars at Golden Gate and Sunshine... I think the #70 Camaro may have been Dan Perez... any help is appreciated...

    The 70 Late Model is Jim Gulley.

    The 35 Late Model is Charlie Setterson.

    The 28 Tornado car I believe is Gary Scranton.

    I can't recall who was in that #21 Ford Tornado but I know I've run outside of that noisy SOB with the exhaust blowing into my driver's side window.

    The #95 Late Model is unknown to me.

        Update on the 21 car.

        In rummaging through some old GG programs in an effort to further indentify these cars, I was reminded that Jim Alvis (Sr) was back driving a #21 Tornado car in the mid - late 70's (76 & 77 at least).

        I had quit driving Tornados well before that so I didn't remember him competing in that class then.

        Not sure if that particular car was his but it is his (and Jimmy Jr's) number and that shot was definitely at GG. Maybe someone else affiliated with the class or Alvis at the time can dial it in better.

        Again, no help on the 95 Late Model. I'm thinking maybe from out of town and not a regular at the time.

          35 car

          I'm probably wrong, but i seem to remember that Leroy Porter ran that car & number before him and Mr. Green hooked up.

            I got further help and found out the #28 and #21 were both six cylinder cars... I don't remember either one but the #21 is Red Kleinitland (sp.?) and the #28 was Bob Layton... Porter drove a #35 at the gate, but not this one.. He also drove a #83... A pic of that car is on the website...

              Who is it then Dave. It is a Orlando car? The E&S Auto Parts were on E. Colonial Dr. just before 436 heading west.

                If it were 10 years more recently, I'd think that Blue 31 (behind the 25) sure has a Billie Harvey look to it. The color is almost exact, as is the font for the numbers.

                    Dave that is the #35 64 Chevelle that I drove, it was sponsored by E&S Auto Parts on East Colonial in Orlando, Tank worked there in 1973 and he was learning to build motors and I worked many a Sunday taking the motor out cause some thing happened to it. It was the last car we owned and we ran it at Golden Gate a few time before I drove the the #83 for Al Gardner in the Limited Late model class. That picture must have been takin just as we were getting hooked up with Al cause I'm pretty sure it say Owner Al Gardner on the C-post.
