22 Sam Culpepper: Photos 23, 24, and 25 are of trophy queen Rob Snider at a Cajun GP. Check with Rob on that. The van shown belonged to Sam Culpepper.

Rob Snider: 23-24-25 are me, with some other Solo drivers. Given who the other drivers are (I recognize a couple of them), it was likely a TLAC autocross, not a Cajun GP club race. Year unknown, probably early to mid 80's.

Sam Culpepper: I think Foyle was wrong on the caption for photo 34. It is Ben Hudson, not Bob Gelles.

and the person responsible for many of the current Solo safety rules
CGP, year unknown.
Turn 1 / Lap 1 of the FF race was always exciting.
These guys look like proud big game hunters.

It is interesting because it looks like he's drag racing
an ice cream truck, and losing.
