I stumbled upon this topic and this is in the hopes that alsancle or any of you others can help me.   I have the #384 Senior Division  racer from the '77 Derby. Built by the Industrial Arts Class at Hampstead Hill Jr. High.  I did not pilot the racer nor did I compete in The Derby.  I just came across the racer many years ago. Anyway, I have been acquiring documentation, history, etc. on the racer since I came across it many years ago.  I have an original program from the '77 Derby ( 40th ) as well as an original rule book and one news article from a local paper ( Baltimore Sun ) from when the car won its' local qualifier for The Derby. I have the Champion's Banner from that Derby although this racer was NOT the Champion.  The racer was piloted by Brian Bernat.  Any additional info would be greatly appreciated !!!  Thank you one and all in advance. 

 

 

Here is the clipping from the Akron Journal, showing A.J. in heat 10, and Brian Bernat in heat 21

Thank you !!  I'll print that out and add it to the "shrine" .  I do have an original program and whoever had it wrote down the times and I am assuming circled the winners of the heats.  We can see that Alsancle did race his # 335 racer in heat #10 , Lane #2.  The heat was sponsored  by Ohio Bell.  And I do have Brian's info in the program , too.  Heat #21 , Lane #1.
