The feature winners of the evening strike a pose at the flag-stand of Hollywood Speedway, late 50's, early 60's. The driver in the plaid shirt standing next to Roddy is Harry Vernon. At the far right, in the cap is Buck Gibbs. Check out the flagstand, right at the track with nothing but a couple of 2x4's for protection against a wildly flipping racecar. If you were a flagman in those days you had better have your wits about you and be quite agile as well.
