With me being a prankster a given, who can name all of these big names in racing in this photo I found in my archives?  😆

I see two PS heads I don't recognize, but I think I do see: Foyt, Unser, Pirelli, Petty, Jones, Yarborough, Stewart, Johnson, McCluskey and Lorenzen.

A.J. Foyt, Roger McCluskey, Bobby Allison, Denny Hulme, Emerson Fittipaldi, Gordon Johncock, Richard Petty, Peter Revson, George Follmer, David Pearson, Mark Donahue and Bobby Unser.  Listed from left to right.

This was taken in 1973 at the international Race of Champions. The car is a Carrera.

All great drivers that I saw frequently in the 1970s, my favourites then being Fittipaldi, Revson, Donahue, Follmer and Hulme. Formula 1 and Can Am were my favourites in those days.

Thanks for this one Marty. Great memories.

How did Bobby Allison get in there twice? I think the man on the far right is Bobby Unser.

@david-green - Congrats on getting almost all the names correct.  In keeping with my prankster gene, you forgot to consider one more and left that person out.  Taken another shot at it.  Don't forget, consider my being a joker. 🤣

@david-vandermeer - Bobby Allison is part of the NASCAR contingent!  He was one of the top drivers.

...right, right.... that's one of the two PS heads, but I just don't recognize the face. I'm sure it's probably one of the Forum guys....  Ken?

Have you photoshopped Rich Sufficool into the photo?

Only one is Photoshopped.  All the rest are actual professional drivers that were part of the IROC series.

OK, you titled the pic "RichSufficoolfunny" ... so I guess I could've cheated, but would've bet that THIS guy was also PS. At first, I thought it was Grandpa Munster! 😀 😀

Denny Hulme always looked a bit that way.

So... I've finally become immortalized. It took damn near 77 years, but I've finally made the big time.
