Hot rod historians recognized the old Foley Lakes racetrack (The Dalles) from this 1953 photo. Gene Adkisson mentioned that car #66 was driven by Ernie Huxel and sponsored by Adkisson Motors. Bob Fraley said he normally drove car #72, but was in the 8-ball car just behind #66 this time. Nick Nickols of Grass Valley (Oregon) said he was driving his car #1, a 37' Chev whose roof can be seen as the fifth car back on the right side. John Brookhouse said the #8 car was normally driven by Russ Runie and that races alternated weekends between this track and one in White Salmon (Washington). Ernest Sellberg said he was one of the judges for the races.
