Jack is probably Jack Roush who had four cars entered last year, one 
was a military sedan, WWII vintage that he drove.  Good chance the Ford 
was one of his.  The Kugel plate with the Bonneville 200 MPH Club 
license frame is probably Jerry Kugel or one of his boys.  They had the 
first stock bodied doorslammer over 300 on the salt.

Gary Kuck was also running in The Great Race.  He bought the 
Marquese-Salter roadster two years ago and has been on the salt with it 
the last two years.  He has run a Hudson Special and the Rocketeer car 
Andy Granatelli used to race in the late 1940's.  I know he is on the 
race this year but don't know what he is driving.  I'll see if I can 
find out and post it.
