I need some help identifying the drivers of the following cars.
The picture below was taken at the IA. State Fair on Aug. 22, 1971.
The next photo was taken at an IMCA race in Eldon, IA. on Aug. 14, 1971.
The last photo below was taken at the IA. State Fair on Aug. 29, 1970. As you can see, this car had an entire with the concrete retaining wall, so I'm not sure what the number was, but it looks like it could have been #13 or maybe #43.
Any help anyone can give me with these 3 photos would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

The 62 sprinter is from Mpls/St Paul for sure... maybe Scratch Daniels?
He drove a 62 team car with Richert in the 63 for a while...

13-Ken Halteman

My thoughts exactly.
Joe Demko might be a good guess.

Thanks to each of you for your help.
Bob, you're really good!
I had a program that showed that Joe Demko was at that event, but I failed to get his number written down. The other two photos I had no clue on whatsoever.
Anyway, I figured somebody out there would know the answers, so again, many thanks.

Blundy Fan, I was a big fan of Jerry Blundy when I was a kid. People don't realise how unbeatable he was on the mile tracks back in the day.

He was pretty good on 1/2 mile tracks too "back in the day". In fact I think he was the best I ever saw in a supermodified or sprint car. Held the record for most wins at Knoxville for many years.

This is probably irrelevant at this point but i can confirm
without a doubt that the red and white #62 pictured was driven by Joe
Demko on that date, im Joe Demko's grandson, and my father just got off
of the phone with him to make sure that he was indeed driving that day.
This is the first pic i've seen of him online in a loong time, its off
topic but does anybody know of any other pictures of him floatin around?
in sprint cars he drove # 8 for Lynn Franklin, #3 for Buzz Newbar, #62
for Ted Reddy(sp?) and in midgets he drove #59 for Bill Denning, #40 for
Bob Steen(sp?) owned by Leonard Fortune, #15 for Chuck Snyder, and
thats all my dad can think of, most of those were small stints.
Once again sorry for being off topic, i'll be posting a thread about this when i get a chance.
Thanks to any of you that can help, i would even appreciate any info
people could offer, stories, people who might have pics, etc
