Default teardown photos from BG in the 70's

Here are a couple photos taken in the teardown barn by Bill Truby. They were taken at Bowling Green in the 70s.

Anybody recognize anybody?
Is that Wesley doing the tech?

Dave ,No I don't for sure. 24-25b #, maybe. I don't save all that old stuff. Travis has all those old rule books. Maybe he'll see this . X/S became a FWD class later on.

I found my old rule books; X was 23.00-23.99 in the '73 book.

In the first photo, the guy leaning over the valve spring tester in the background is John Biedenkapp. He was the Div. II Tech Dir. then. X/S was 23-23.99.

That doesn't look like Pritchett to me in the pic. Is that '65 Chevelle convertible Jimmy Gower's? Not Wesley in the pic either.

Middle picture far right side . My old partner Ray (Tex) Cook and next to him Kevin Schmidt. I was probably under the car.

Dave,

If anybody would have a picture of the comet it would be Tom Kasch. We are all from the same area and I remember that car.
