I'll give it to Chris.

Yes, it was Bentley Warren in the Bay State Racing Eagle-Offy at the 1973 Bettenhausen 200 race at Milwaukee (West Allis), WI :D

Great Photo.

Carl Williams replaced Denis Hulme who was burned on his hands. Peter Revson drove the #73 at Indy 500 and the #75 at Ontario 500. Peter Revson and Cris Amon both practiced the #75 car but the helmets were different colors.

Ruby did drive this car in 1975. But it's not the driver in the photo or the correct year.

Right Track, and Car. :up:

Keep Digging you will enjoy it when you find it. ;)

hmm, ok - lets go with Gordon Johncock at the first Phoenix race in 1974 - kinda of looks like his style of helmet...

question is - if it is Gordy why weren't they in STP colors for this race???

Right Track. Wrong Year and Driver.

I believe the STP sponsorship for Patrick racing in 1974 was only for the 500 mile races. At Trenton the colors were blue with gold lightning bolts.

I am pulling up big blanks here - how about Steve Krisloff practicing in a backup car at the first CART race in 1979???

Wrong Year and Driver.

Hint: When this driver was issued a licence from USAC to drive many other drivers threatened to boycott the race.

Hint: Also this driver was the first of many.

ok, nice hint - I think I have it - although I cannot get the numbersto match...

Arlene Hiss
1976
Phoenix
Eagle-Offy
problem is she raced #51 - guessing this is rookie test or practice car....
