Is this a Pic. of Greg standing by car?

Mike,

Better late than never, but I was just contacted by Debra Temple and here is what she had to say about the picture you are asking about.

"I noticed in the string of conversations on Landracing Forum, there was a question if the man standing next to my dad's roadster (Gotcha - Red, at the time) was my dad - Bill - actually, the man in the picture was Jim Douglass, my mother (Joyce's) brother;  his name was on the car as a sponsor at the time of the picture."

Hope this helps,

Tom G.

The hauler had a ramp that went up over the cab as I remember it.

The car was generally white and so was the hauler. 

I had no problem focusing on the white cars with the camera but

apparently the men in the timing stand did, but the clocks didn't.

With radios they don't really need to see the car. They are told who is coming.

There was no polish on the truck's paint and it never went thru the clocks.

Thanks Tom, for thinking of my dad and brother - I know it's been awhile since your post - but just seeing it today, I appreciate the thoughts . . . attached is a picture of dad running at El Mirage in 1977.
