#22 - Mark Oswald - Love the turbo car in the other lane!
#29 & 30 - Billy Glidden (?) with his Dad on the line.

#35-3 - My all time favorite Funny Car - The Goose's '78 Indy Winning Vette
#83 - The Man - Mr Wally Parks
#94 - No reverser "push back" diggers. BIG HAIR!
#97 - Can anyone tell me if that is the Corvette Funny car that goes off the end of the track in American Nitro and gets wrapped up in a fence?
#102 - Turbocharged AND Supercharged digger!! See #22
#106 - Is this the Monza that Australian Bruce Leake later purchased?
#107 - Waco Willy

Those are great, it all seemed so very professional to back me then. I was wowed by the super fancy rigs like enclosed ramp trucks and three axle trailers pulled by less than 5 year old duallie pickups. The super rich had old furniture moving vans converted to haul cars.
Not like nowadays when you see a million dollar motorhome towing a new stacker trailer with S/ST and a competition number on the back door.
I was just in Reno and never thought to see if Yuill Bros shop is still around.

Yeah. Back then I thought ANYONE who drove a fuel car was a cool dude. I have since learned that is not true.
