Picture File PB_SD-012.jpg This picture is from Volume 26 of the photo archive. The question came up whether this was a Bingo car with a different roll cage.

Does anybody have any idea if this is a Bingo car? And who are these guys?

Evidently, this is not a Bingo car. It is either a good copy or a Gordenski car built for somebody else.
Picture File PB_SA007.jpg This picture is from Volume 32 of the photo archive. Phil Bialas snapped this great shot of the Bingo 151 in line for the 1965 Sandusky Classic.
Picture File PG_AB1-0127.jpg This picture is from Volume 9 of the Phil Ghysels Photo Album 1 collection: Chuck Neal in the Bingo 5.

No doubt about these two images. Definitely Chuck Neal and definitely Bingo 5.
Picture File PG_AB1-0128.jpg This picture is from Volume 9 of the Phil Ghysels Photo Album 1 collection: Chuck Neal in the Bingo 5.
Picture File PG_AB1-0204.jpg This picture is from Volume 14 of the Phil Ghysels Photo Album 1 collection. I believe this is a B&D photo out of an Oswego program: Sam Sessions wins at Oswego in the Pete Webster Bingo 151.

Now, look at the length of this roll cage, it looks like a different car than the Chuck Neal Bingo 5 above.
Picture File PG_AB1-0205.jpg This picture is from Volume 14 of the Phil Ghysels Photo Album 1 collection: Sam Sessions wins at Oswego in the Pete Webster Bingo 151.
Picture File PG_AB1-0206.jpg This picture is from Volume 14 of the Phil Ghysels Photo Album 1 collection: The Bingo 151. That's Pete Webster standing beind the car on the right and that's Sam Sessions leaning up against the car on the right rear.

Tamara Webster (daughter of Ralph, granddaughter of Pete) writes in:"That is not Pete Webster in the background in PG_AB1-0206 In fact, we don't recognize anyone in the picture. The guy standing next to the car is familiar, might be Johnny Logan -- looked a little like Ward. Need a higher resolution picture".

However, Bill Wiegand examined this photo as well and says that it is Pete Webster standing behind the car to the right, it is Sam Sessions standing up against the left rear, and get this...the guy to the left in the hat...that's Nolan Johncock!
