The blue SS/O Chevy II on the other side of the Buick in the staging lane shot is "Cheetin" Charlie Lee from Sparta, Tennessee. He raced at my home track, Brainerd Optimist Drag Strip, in the seventies. Here's a pic I took of his car in 1974. This car was sold to H/MP racer, Cotton Perry, who won his first national event with the car.
