David Thomas writes in: "Dad thinks Babe Branscombe may be in the car in this picture? The car is a VERY early Edmonds sprinter. (Dad thinks) Jimmy sold this car for $10,000 and wished he didn't. Note: Big blocks were starting to come into the field of Supers. This car used to be a small block. This car had a Model A -Type front spring (it ran from side to side with jacking bolts). Jimmy was very dominant in this car!!" 		Picture File star034-t.jpg Jim Landry. Jim was not a big guy but he was always fast. Note the bolt-on roll cage. Picture File star004-t.jpg Eddie Witkum's car. Am I wrong, or does this car appear to be a copy of Howard Purdy's Deuce?

John Spence, Former Star Speedway announcer writes in "Stumbled upon your page and really enjoyed it. Almost fell off the chair when I saw myself in a photo of Bill Hite's super. at Star Speedway. That car if I remember that year was driven by Tampa Florida's Bill Roynon and the # 43 in the background was driven by Page Reynolds out of Texas. That year saw a large entry list of outside entries for the Can-Am Classic. The # 93 super was driven by Star regular Jeff Horne." [That must be you in the sunglasses, John?]
