Well, this is the list of drivers there: (courtesy of http://wsrp.ic.cz/usrrc1964.html#1)
It's clearly not MacDonald, Hall, Holbert, Sharp, Miles or Bondurant. It's also not Heuer, Wintersteen, Yenko, Pabst and a few others below. But I don't know what all the below looked like, so hopefully that's a start - unless someone comes along and knows in about 10 seconds. He does look relatively familiar though.

Richard: Fellow forum member Charlie Hayes, who was at this event thinks it is Bob Markley, he race a Elva/Porsche as did Charlie and was good friends with Hap Sharp.
Gary Knutson also believes it to be Bob Markley. He said he met him in Nassau and he was a very nice guy. Before Bob Markley raced his Elva/Porsche he drove a Lotus 23 with very good results.
