Who's on the left? I know Sonny Ray is in middle and Perry on right. And did Roy Johnson drive that Opel at some point?

That's Allen Gunter who drove Jim Danuel's Opel for the first couple of seasons. And yes, Roy Johnson drove after that, although with a different body.

Sorry, I don't. I'll bet Bob Rice does, he'll probably see this question and find a pic or two.

Wayne,

Did Allen Gunter crash that car and got hurt bad or something like that? I remember most of those cars and drivers. A special time that we will never see again. Thanks for posting the pictures. It brings back alot of good memories.

Yes, Allen Gunter crashed it but I don't know where or how bad he got hurt. Charles Fitzsimmons, who drove the "Choo Choo Hemi" SS/CA Plymouth, drove the Opel one time at Commerce for Jim Danuel. He told me that was the quickest, best driving car he had been in to that point. Here's a magazine pic with Roy Johnson driving at Indy in 1983. I believe the "Neal" on the side of the car is the same man that Johnny Ferris drove the Plymouth Arrow for. Anybody have a pic of Sonny Ray driving the ex-Glidden, Jerry Hurley Arrow, comp. car?

Horace,

Didn't Sonny bracket race that convertible at Green Valley a bunch of times?

I remember seeing it there back when we all raced there: Ed and Cleo, Johnny Coefield, David Rampy, Fly, lots of others and my white '64 max wedge plymouth.
