      If you go to the History section of KARNAC, there are several pages of photos and there are some pictures there of some of the drivers you mentioned...

        Here are a few images, etc. I have of Frank.

        First is a close-up profile of Frank along with three other greats of the day that appeared on the Golden Gate Speedway program dated 08/08/70.




        This is a shot of Jimmy passing Frank on the last lap of the Sprint Car Feature that also appeared on a GGS program dated 09/12/70



        This is a picture of Frank on the cover of the Sunshine Speedway program dated 07/12/75, accepting the Leo Musgrave Trophy for winning the "Firecracker 75" in one of his few appearances at SS. Following that is the article that appeared on page 5 of the same program.

          I know you're looking for Sprint Car material but just for giggles & grins here's a image and article that appeared in the 06/19/75 edition of Florida Raceweek showing Frank winning his second LM feature of the year at GGS in the Miles Hudson / Hibbard's Chevron #9 Camaro.

              What track is that Billy Yuma picture taken at? Doesn't look familiar at all, except possibly Oswego.
