>Congratulations to Gordon Glasgow, for being the first person to correctly
identify the owners of the cars. However, as he has also taken photographs
of the race car, and indeed, taken it thru 2 different drivers schools, we

>The most amazing discovery is that Craig Halsted, from New York, was not
only able to identify the owners/cars, but to also find where the cars were,
