Bill Mangum brought this to me....from Peanut. It is also posted in our vintage gallery. I thought this would be a good challenge for some old(er) heads.

The only thing I recognize is that the vent behind the hood is open on the Ford Coupe on the left. LOL

You're right, Legend...they do favor the Flocks. We need to do some further investigation. Tim Leeming said:
Last row, last two guys on the right, look like young Fonty and Tim Flock. That was, however, slighty BEFORE my time!

I never saw Fonty get that dirty. He was always dressed in style. In fact he had the guts to wear Bermuda Shorts before any of us.

To the right of Red Vogt is Bob Osiecki & to his right wearing the two-tone helmet is Johnny Rodgers. Hope that helps.

The coupe on the left is probably a Raymond Parks `39 Ford Standard coupe around 1947-48 and is probably Reb Byron's car by the look of the number #2 on the right headlight..giving the other side carried a 2 (#22).

Both Reds (Byron and Vogt) are identified in the pic....(see the caption) Peanut says 46 is the year.
