Sunray DX 67 and 68 L88's
 
Who owns the 67 and 68 Sunray DX L88 race cars today? Just found a few pic's that I had from the files of Sunray Oil Co from decades ago.

Not sure, but I don't suppose you could scan those photos in and share with the rest of the class...:)

Not sure where this was. I'm sure someone will recognize the track. Pic was from 1968.

Dave Morgan, driver of one of the 68 cars. (at least in this pic) The note, still clipped to the orig pic after all these years, says, "Thanks j (lawson) much better time this time". (my old notes below that)

The pictures from St. Louis, Mo.
What track was that??
From what I can see, It reminds me of Mid American Raceway. Truthfully, I'm not old enough to have been at that race. But I think M.A.R. was open. It was in Wentzville, Mo. about 40 miles outside of St. Louis. That track open and closed a few times. I think its closed now. For that matter it is probably a subdivision full of homes. There is a huge building boom out in that area.

great pictures thanks for posting.
The picture of Dave Morgan looks like he is in the 67 because both 68s have no tops.

Joe58 posted one of his very nice Yenko pics of the Sunray cars

Wonder where the road draft tube is for the 67? I gave one to the owner of that car about 25 years ago. (well, I didn't exactly give it to him)

I see the 68 car has one.

Cars look excellent!!
