The Back Story: 

Top Photo: George notched his one and only LV triumph in this Hauser Bros. #5 on May 20th, 1978.  George was a real fan favorite as he wheeled a modified at LV until the early 80’s driving his own #222 before hanging up helmet for good.

Second Photo: George Henderson poses next to this unbelievably good looking coach #5.  George and the #5 team always had outstanding looking equipment, but they outdid themselves on this one, as photo contributor Mark commented… Race cars like this one, is what encouraged me to restore a coach in 1991 that I campaigned with the NEAR and STAR organizations until about 2004”.

Front cover of LV program submitted from former LV handicapper John Harper, who now resides in NC, and insert from a totally different program,  which just happened to feature Sneakers Henderson also, submitted from Tim Mooney, also in NC.

Lotta trunk space in this corvair bodied 5 that George steered for the 1973 racing season.  Looks like heavy rains had pounded the area earlier, as the pits seem a little flooded.

 

Additional Comments:   While we totally appreciate your efforts to take the time and scan programs to add content to LVC, unless it conveys an important story pertaining to something relevant to current circumstances, please try to send in only original pictures.  Thank you and I hope all understand.
