There's actually three coupes in the video! The brown-primed coupe is definately Dan McNamara in Joel McElearney's #98! Not sure who is in the yellow coupe and there is a blue coupe that looks like possibly Gardners' 86; maybe Al Hanson?

If dan mac is in the primer coupe which i agree than who is in the 71 white pinto. The blue coupe should be Al Hansen.

The #71 pinto is Wayne Anderson. I don't think that is Baldwins yellow coupe, the one in the video seems to have a very high stance and Tommy's was pretty low.

There are Four Coupes! After a little investigation, I've come to the conclusion that there are actually two yellow coupes in the video. Just as the cars start to hot-lap, Tom Baldwin passes by in the #7 coupe followed by the other yellow coupe driven by Mike Tully #82. It's very hard to see in the YouTube video, but the original video played on Windows Media Player is so much clearer, even in full screen.

I don't post much anyway(I'm from the MSS board) but at least it will be something to do with Islip. What a great video and I know I wasn't there since I never made any practice days back then. The x3 pinto without an X that was fun. My 2cents, I would like to thanks Howie for holding on to MSS for the time he did. Also Thank him for the x3 picture too. So I guess I'll pull up a chair. My profile picture is the x3 vega pace lap for TD35.

Is it possible to get a copy of the WMV version of the video?

There are many places where it can be hosted for free on the internet, and I would love to see the clear version.

I have been informed that the second yellow coupe in the video is, in fact, the #82 of Mike Tully. The car itself is a 38 Olds Coupe that was purchased from Bill Park. Park won the 1971 Islip Rookie of the Year title in that car, though he never won a feature with it. Park sold the car and went on to drive the Peters #33 white Pinto prior to building his own white and gold Vega that was later debuted at Islip.

Thanks BF!

You're absolutely right, Tracy! That is the former Park coupe. Bill bought that car from Charlie Webster, who raced it at The New London-Waterford Speedbowl.

Sure! I don't see why not! In fact, I will put my three favorites on one DVD!
