Vintage Race Pics...never Published..dators, etc.

Post by AMG »

Hello Friends. :usa:

A good friend of mine published a bunch of Photo's for me on the VSCA website.

The Photo's are from the 1977 Govenors Cup Race on Forest Lake in Forest lake Minnesota in January 1977, 1 week prior to the I-500.

Mike Trapp won the race on his 1977 Rv Cross Country.

Many Dators and some liquifires and other neat sleds..... GO CHECK IT OUT!!!!

James,

I hope you don't mind me posting one of your pictures here. I'm curious who the guys are on the Dators. I know #3 is Bob Enns.

#122?
#120 Yellow hooded Dator?
The ETD driver to the left of #120?

Great pictures. Thanks for sharing!

Troy

There is a Dator on the 2nd page near the bottom. It is lined up for a start and it has # 348 on it. Anyone know who it was? Looks not to be ETD but I could be wrong.

Steve Tabor might know the racers....... #1 on the cat is Brian Nelson....... #3 on the Dator is Bob Enns.......

Steve called me today and briefed me on the photo's...... he knew a ton of the racers and techs......
