As noted in the caption Dick Maskin, Dave Kanners, Wayne Gapp, Etta and Bob Glidden. Don’t know the last person the right.
Gapp and Roush 1973 Pinto – picture from Pomona
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.
Wayne Gapp, you’ve been invited to the World Finals
Wayne Gapp and the 1972 Ford Maverick with Boss 429 Power
Found this image out on eBay not to long ago.
This car is just beautifully finished. The paint is impeccable. Love it.
Just behind the car are three men. On the left is Wayne Gapp, in the middle Al Buckmaster(?) and on the right Jack Roush.
NHRA photo of the week
The NHRA posted this as the photo of the week!
Pretty cool of them to do that.
Too bad they don’t have a picture from 1975 when WG won the event.
This is NHRA’s recap of the 1975 event here.
I can help with a picture.
FYI. If I were to nitpick the picture that NHRA selected is from 1976. See here for a list of cars and paint schemes by year.

I failed to mention that my Dad was inducted here back in 2004.
This was the first time he had gone back.
Sorry for any confusion…
Here is the full list of inductees.
