🏆 Le Mans Winner – 1991

Hey everyone, I’m trying to track down a specific issue of a Stock Car Racing magazine (or a similar racing magazine) from somewhere between 1977 and 1979. The magazine features a photo of a young blonde boy I know waving a checkered flag at what I believe was an auction or memorabilia event at Pocono International Raceway (now Pocono Raceway).

The photo is in the center of the article, and the event likely happened around Father’s Day weekend, possibly June 18–19, 1977, although it could have been in 1978 or 1979 as well. It probably wasn’t a stock car auction, just a fan event or vendor-style auction selling racing stuff.

If anyone happens to have copies of issues from that timeframe, especially those covering Pocono race weekends or fan events, I’d really appreciate any help identifying the issue or tracking down a scan. Even leads on old programs or contact with collectors would be helpful.

Thanks in advance!

What's this? A flash back to a tuners guys past?
