I thought with the
majority of the race car blocked, and the drivers face covered with a smiley
face, we’d have stumped many for this weeks Mystery Driver, but I didn’t, however
I would have gotten away it if it wasn’t for George’s meddling brother Robbie
also being in the picture.
The Brothers
Marcus proved to be quite a force to be reckoned with on the high banks of
Lebanon Valley, as well as some of the most liked and respected competitors
as evidenced from some of the comments we received in the e-mails identifying
the troublesome twosome. George
started competing at the Valley in the 70’s, but I can’t for sure say which
year, and found success through the 80’s in the then sportsman class,
which is now the 358 class, and continued when the current sportsman class
was started in the late 80’s. As these
pictures dictate George won in each class, however, the tandem flourished in
the present sportsman division, where George
racked up an amazing 38 wins, holding the record for most wins until he
retired and Art Collins eventually took over.

Bill Chuckta, Steve Fifield,
Mike Visconti, Doug Olds, Dave Jette, Dennis Dickens, Chrissy Fifield,

Robbie Marcus in the picture too. Greg Rucinski, Denny Young, who also
felt he should get bonus points for identifying "Robbie Marcus and his
bald head to the right of the picture". and finally, Russ Blake, who
totally missed the point of the picture and guessed head starter Matt
Higgins and Lou Gerrain in the starters stand.
