Since the last one was so easy I thought I'd try my luck one more time with one of Ed's photo's, this time we are at Thompson Conneticut 20th July 1957 as Race One gets under way.
With the aid of Ed's photographs, Terry O' Neils Northeast American Sports Car Races 1950 to 1959 and
racing sports cars .com I have been able to make a probable list of entries on the grid as follows :-
Row 1 #15 R Nerney, Abarth 207A Spider, #12 Floyd Aaskov Lotus X1
Row 2 # 42/52/62 ??? #28 N Falcone, Jomar 7 C 105
Row 3 # ????? #26 L Bastruo Lotus IX
Row 4 # ?????
#27 P Sagan, Fiat Abarth 750 GT ZagatoRow 5
#95 J Iglehart, Nardi MD4 Spyder #46 J Mull D B Panhard # ?????? # ?????

But I am struggling with the rest particularly this red vehicle running what looks like a #42 on the front and a #52 or #62 on the side, numbers of which none appear close to any records I can find.
Finally I have seen several photographs from Thompson CT featuring the flag man in shorts does anyone know his name ?
I have refrained from altering these images in photoshop for fear of loosing valuable information if you wish to enhance the images and re post be my guest.
Thanking you in anticipation of your responses :-)
Edit PS rsc.com lists a 'Walter Cronkite' as a driver can this be possibly be the News anchor of the same name ?
