I think this might be Rich Senneker in a former Bob Senneker car.

Thank you -- I'd thought that was his # on one of Bob's Chevies. '69 sounds about right. Might've seen the car at H-berg back in the day.

WLAV is a radio station in Grand Rapids, MI. 1969 is correct. Rich died back in '73 in a crash I believe at Owosso.

Randy, Rich Senneker was killed at Owosso on June 1, 1973. Not sure what happened but I understand it took only 20 minutes to fix the car. Maybe a freak accident? I do know Owosso was paved in 1972 and it was FAST!

Randy, I asked a friend (Marty Blume) about the Rich Senneker accident. Rich spun and one car went high to avoid him, but Mel Gillette went low and hit Rich's car in the drivers side door. Although the car wasn't badly damaged, Rich hit his head and was killed. Wish safety equipment was around back in the day.
