That’s Perk in the air, and probably Red Foote in the J2.

That is Perk at the wheel, but this may be a restored version of the famous William Mason #45 photographed many years after Perk last raced in it.

It is a pity that more of today’s drivers do not act in the honorable way that Bugs and his contemporaries did.

1969 – Martinsville. This is the start of the 1969 Cardinal 500. Leo Cleary is on pole, then Ray Hendrick in #11, Lou Austin and Bugs Stevens in the second row, Gerald Compton and Perk Brown in the third row. About halfway back one can see Bentley Warren’s #44 coach, and near the rear Maynard Troyer’s distinctive #6 Falcon.
