1965, Birmingham Alabama Fairgrounds. Fred Moore (car #R1) from Pensacola Florida. Known more as a car owner. Bill Roynon and Donnie Allison drove for him in later years with much success.

1965, Birmingham Alabama Fairgrounds. Donnie Allison (car #30) from Hueytown Alabama. For those who only think of Donnie as a stock car driver, it was a thrill to see him in a super, everyone should have had the pleasure of seeing him drive these things. Two top 10's at Indy sums it up. This car is owned by Johnny Ardis of Mobile Alabama. He is in the process of restoring the car now. Johnny's cars compete in the little 500 every year.

1965, Birmingham Alabama Fairgrounds. Freddy Fryar (car #48) from Rossville Georgia. Great NASCAR modified star of 1950's - 70's. Brother, Harold Fryar also was a great dirt driver in the 60's. I believe Freddy is a crew chief for a Craftsman Truck team.
