One of Topeka's veteran drivers, Bill Cohee from the mid 60's at Topeka Raceway. I believe Bill is still racing or is very much part of his sons racing in the year 2004. Maybe both?

This photo is believed to be at Savannah Speedway near St. Joesph, MO. It is of Leroy Bridgeman winning at Savannah Speedway. I'm guessing from the late 60's.
