The caption reads:
“Wayne Gapp’s Super Cat Cougar put away big, closely matched gas “funny” field, due mainly to Gapp’s fine driving.”.

It looks like it was a cold rainy day when this photo was taken in early 1973.
As noted in the caption Dick Maskin, Dave Kanners, Wayne Gapp, Etta and Bob Glidden. Don’t know the last person the right.
Dondero was driving for Jenkins at this point but later in the year would move over to drive for Gapp & Roush. Thanks to Tom Kasch for this scan.
Below is a picture that is part of video on YouTube. The first post of an image from the video can be found here.
Tom Kasch has been scanning some photos and sending them along. This image was taken at nearly the same time as this classic image (just before I think). This photo was used in a Accel ad.
Cheap at any price.
This ad ran in April 1974 but I don’t know the publication.
Wayne Gapp (far left, blue shirt) and the ex-Barrie Poole Pinto. This car was purchased and repainted into the livery you see below. Later destroyed in an accident in St. Louis.
The image itself was taken at Great Lakes Dragway in Union Grove, WI. It was published as part of compilation of images published on YouTube. The video contains a lot of other great images from the time period.
See the original video here.
Nice drawing of the Ford 351 Cleveland head. Posted here to show the original design of the head with the canted valves and, in particular, the design of the exhaust port.
This is an image from Dragway Classics which I believe is the business name for Larry Malski’s business(?) Could be wrong.
Anyway, Larry Malski took the image.
Wayne Gapp driving and Bill Jameson in the t-shirt on the left.
